СУТНІСНІ ПРОЯВИ СУЧАСНИ Х ПРОБЛЕМ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ІДЕНТИЧНОСТІ НА ПРИКЛАДІ ПРАВОСЛАВ'Я: ДЖЕРЕЛОЗНАВЧИЙ АНАЛІЗ

Abstract

The religious processes taking place in Ukraine recently are increasingly encouraging a comprehensive philosophical and religious analysis of the relationship between the national and religious, ethnic and confessional, mental and sacred, political and ideological, etc., since these connections are essential factors in the formation of statehood, national identity, spiritual identity and religious certainty of the people, which is causing the increased interest of domestic researchers: from philosophers, historians, psychologists to sociologists, ethnographers, linguists, etc. The essence of the specificity of national identity in general, Orthodoxy in particular, is revealed through a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the main dominants of the Orthodox creed, among which is the anthropological idea that permeates the entire Christian ontology and epistemology. These problems are constantly under the close attention of scientists and have repeatedly become the subject of professional research of the past and professional searches of modern domestic and foreign scientists. In modern Ukraine, there is an increase in the number of studies, particularly in the history of Orthodoxy, its beliefs and rituals, as well as its interaction with the state and society. A wide and diverse range of religious topics is quite significant and significant today. All this is due to the fact that Orthodoxy has historically been and remains the dominant religious factor in our country, and it is it that can claim to be called an autochthonous (mentally rooted) religion in Ukraine.
