Abstract

The subjects of the article are the philosophical concepts stated by His All-Holiness, Archbishop of Constantinople – New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in addresses during his stay in Kyiv on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Independence of Ukraine. These balanced canonical addresses in two languages, including Ukrainian, are independent subjects of philosophical analysis. All conceptual statements have a multidimensional character and can be studied in connection with the canonical, ecclesiastical, religious and philosophical grounds. The stay of His All-Holiness, Archbishop of Constantinople – New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in Kyiv ended with the formation of an independent source base for historical and philosophical research. A set of philosophical terms and concepts that create an original philosophical lexicon was identified. Among the leading philosophical concepts, the polemical opposition of the "pyramidal structure of church organization" and the Eastern Orthodox Church "Pentarchy" model is distinguished by its energy. The historical and philosophical explication of the logical structure of both ways of building the Church is an important factor in elucidating the differences between the autocratic and equal in components systems. This philosophical concept and its careful study can be urgent in establishing strategic directions for the development of both the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the secular system of government of the state of Ukraine, based on the principle of separation of powers into components. The addresses also contain a number of concepts of philosophical and theological content, which substantiate the logic of the "non-pyramidal" system of organization and have an unconditional modern meaning for the existing Ukrainian- language philosophical lexicon.
