Культурные смыслы православия в университетской среде (на примере Забайкальского государственного университета)

Abstract

The article actualizes cultural meanings of Orthodoxy that are important for the revival of spiritual Russian culture of young students. Russian Orthodox culture preserves and conveys cultural meanings to an individual with the help of arts and spiritual activity. The paper presents methodology for anthropological cultural interaction of teachers, students, church, and government in the development of cultural meanings of Orthodoxy in the university environment. An attempt was made to arrange a research project and carry out a culturological analysis of the correlation of theoretical developments in the field of studying cultural meanings with the practice of their application in the modern sociocultural space in conditions of a spiritual crisis and taking into account actualization of the spiritual cultural meaning in the aspect of spiritual security of an individual, the possibilities of an interfaith dialogue between the peoples and religions of the Transbaikal region, as well as attempts to unite students according to their religious interests, for example, in the social and moral sphere through cultural meanings and cultural activities. The purpose of the study is to reveal the interconnection of cultural meanings of spiritual Russian culture with educational, training, sociocultural practices in the university environment. The results of the study show that students form their cultural worldview not only with the help of informational and educational or socio-cultural components, but also through their spiritual experience, which is accumulated while mastering the cultural meanings of Russian spiritual life.
