Il nostro lavoro è incentrato su Filosofia dell’ineguaglianza, acceso libello di filosofia sociale in forma epistolare, composto da Nikolaj Berdjaev all’inizio del 1918. Nelle quattordici veementi lettere che costituiscono l’opera, egli critica aspramente l’idea di eguaglianza sociale e metafisica propagandata dai rivoluzionari, schierandosi a favore dell’ineguaglianza gerarchica, da lui considerata l’unica garanzia della libertà e della statura teantropica dell’uomo. Abbiamo suddiviso la nostra indagine in tre parti: il primo capitolo è un’introduzione storico-filosofica al testo, in cui sono evidenziati i concetti fondamentali del pensiero del Nostro; nel secondo capitolo abbiamo messo in luce il legame tra lo “stile filosofico” di Berdjaev e la cultura religiosa a cui egli appartiene, riflettendo poi sui problemi traduttivi che ne derivano; in particolare ci siamo soffermati sull’aforisticità del suo pensiero e sullo spiccato afflato emotivo che pervade la sua esposizione. Infine, abbiamo incluso nel terzo capitolo la traduzione di quattro lettere (Sulla rivoluzione, Sui fondamenti ontologico-religiosi della socialità, Sullo Stato, Sul regno di Dio) e della postfazione aggiunta da Berdjaev a Berlino nel 1923, in occasione della pubblicazione del libro. / This study deals with Nikolaj Berdjaev’s book The philosophy of inequality, written by the thinker at the beginning of 1918, immediately after the Russian Revolution. In the fourteen vehement letters that compose this work, Berdjaev harshly criticizes the idea of social and metaphysical equality promoted by the revolutionaries since he believes that only hierarchical inequality protects man’s freedom and his theandric nature from chaos. We divided our work into three parts: in the first chapter we have given a historical, cultural and philosophical introduction to the book, highlighting the basic concepts of Berdjaev’s thought. In the second chapter we have attempted to clarify the relation between Berdjaev’s “philosophical style” and the religious culture to which he belongs, and then we have drawn attention on the translation problems caused by this relation. Particular emphasis was placed on the aphoristic style of the philosopher and on his use of emotionally charged images and expression. Finally, the third chapter features the translation of four letters (About Russian Revolution, About ontological and religious grounds of sociality, About the State, About Kingdom of God) and of the afterword added by Berdjaev in 1923 in Berlin, on the occasion of the publication of The philosophy of inequality.
