THE CONTOURS OF THE EUCHARISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY OF ALEXANDR FILONENKO

Abstract

The project of the Eucharistic anthropology that was proposed by Alexandr Filonenko, for the first time on a national scale in theological and philosophical studies,presents eucharistic anthropology as a new branch of philosophical and theological anthropology, which studies practices of gratitude as recognition of the Other and paths of human dignity after dehumanizing practices of the XXth century anthropological catastrophe. The urgency of eucharistic anthropology is defined by the context of the return of Reality, Subject and the Sacred after their elimination from the philosophical field of modern and postmodern thought; this return is described as the presence of the Other. The main task of our paper is to investigate original theoretical proposition of the well-known Ukrainian scholar, heuristic capabilities and cognitive potential of the new trend of communicative anthropology. Alexandr Filonenko describes the interaction between the philosophical and the theological contexts of eucharistic anthropology from point of view of the contemporary culture of presence outside modern and postmodern languages. He opens new horizon of the theoasethetics, theodrama and theologics, which have been developed in the theological proposal of H. U. von Balthasar. The author develops an anthropological language sensitive towards theology and pedagogics, which lets one describe ways of overcoming the postideological crisis through practices of gratitude. As A. Filonenko stressed, Eucharistic anthropology offers one to consider philosophy and theology of witnessing in the Ukrainian context, in which the theological disciplinary matrix is currently taking shape after a long period of the philosophy of suspicion domination.
