PHILOSOPHICAL ORIENTATIONS OF THE ORTHODOX ON THE POST-SOVIET SPACE

Abstract

In the article the philosophical orientations of the Orthodox on the postSoviet space are comprehended. This required giving a detailed description of the broad intellectual context in which the dialogue of Orthodoxy and philosophy was formed. Sociologists who study “mass” Orthodoxy pay little attention to the circle of reading and the role of philosophy in the life of Orthodox neophytes. The question of the degree of influence of philosophy on the Orthodox remains open. Interaction with philosophy today is the desire to modernize and adapt Orthodoxy in the new environment and clarify certain issues of Orthodox theology. On the question of the essence of modernization in the twentieth century, disputes arose, for the conduct of which the participants needed to clarify theological themes, and appeal to modern philosophy, including for clarifying the belief for themselves, intellectual and emotional assimilation of faith. We can state the presence of rival ideas about the place of Orthodoxy in the modern world, which took shape in clear directions: liberal, conservative, unorthodox. This differentiation of views arises in a crisis situation, a crisis of church culture. In addition, the cultural stratification of society affected the transition to an open society. To strengthen the Orthodox consciousness in the post-Soviet space, the philosophical ideas of the religious and philosophical renaissance of the early twentieth century are actualized.
