Nikolai
Berdyaev:
"No
man can be an incarnation and personification of evil, the evil in him is
always partial. For this reason, there cannot be a final judgment upon anybody.
This lays down limits also to the very principle of punishment. A man may
commit a crime, but the man as a whole personality cannot be a criminal; he
must not be treated as an incarnation of crime; he remains a personality, in
him is the image of God. And the personality which has committed a crime does
not belong as a whole to the state and society. A personality is a citizen of
the Kingdom of God and not of the kingdom of Caesar; the judgment and
condemnation of the kingdom of Caesar in relation to it are partial, nor are
they final."
