The Meaning of the Creative Act is a seminal work for Nikolai Berdyaev.
Berdyaev\'s aim is to sketch out an "anthropodicy," a justification of man (as opposed to a theodicy, a justification of God); man is to be justified on the basis of his Creative acts, inasmuch as he is a creat.
It adumbrates a number of crucially important themes that he develops in his later works, notably Creative freedom as an essential element of human life and human creativeness as complementary to God\'s creativeness.
