Romano Guardini and Nicolaj Berdjaev find in the Middle Ages a political model for contemporary society. They do not want to replicate the medieval world, but they highly regard the union of ‘faith and world’ that they consider typical of the Middle Ages and useful to avoid any nazi or communistic dictatorship in the post-war Germany and in the post-revolutionary Russia. Nicolaj Berdjaev, referring to the Bolshevik Russia, speaks about an incoming religiously- dominated New Middle Ages. According to Guardini’s analysis, however, a society in which God is present as a ‘political element’ is immune to any totalitarianism. This matters even after the Nazi era.

Abstract

Romano Guardini and Nicolaj Berdjaev find in the Middle Ages a political model for contemporary society. They do not want to replicate the medieval world, but they highly regard the union of ‘faith and world’ that they consider typical of the Middle Ages and useful to avoid any nazi or communistic dictatorship in the post-war Germany and in the post-revolutionary Russia. Nicolaj Berdjaev, referring to the Bolshevik Russia, speaks about an incoming religiously- dominated New Middle Ages. According to Guardini’s analysis, however, a society in which God is present as a ‘political element’ is immune to any totalitarianism. This matters even after the Nazi era.
