Abstract
Article propose the possibility of renewal of philosophy as a worldview direction. The protestant principle concept of prominent thinker of the twentieth century Paul Tillich can help at this point. The essence of the Protestant principle - to transcend religious and confessional images, any private historical forms, every implementations, and no identify with these images, forms and implementations. Protestant principle - step over, stepping over all immanent, not reject it, but meaning as its transcendence. Protestant principle is not associated with a particular era, and eternal as the criterion of all time, Protestantism may end, but the principle should not disappear, because it is identical to the Christian principle. The principle is not the sphere of religion. It is important for philosophy and for understanding of its essence characteristics. The principle making (or returns) the spirit of idealism to the philosophy. This idealism teaches correctly recognize an ideal and not replace for quasi-ideals. Tillich injects "air of theology" into the philosophy, returns its idealism, the value of Absolute, God, Ideal, shows the relative value only as a relative - in technology, things, parties, leaders and politicians. He removes the contradiction between non-denominational search for truth in philosophy and theology. Philosophy as a struggle fought in the name of human nature and infinity against human finiteness in all its forms, including mortality.
