Abstract
The article examines the philosophical treatises by Hryhoriy Skovoroda in the context of the writer's creative heritage, in particular his prose. An important role in his work plays the theoretical teaching about three worlds - the macrocosm (Universe), the microcosm (human) and the Bible as the unique world of symbols. This teaching is closely related to the concept of two human natures: visible and invisible, material and spiritual, through which everything is realized in the world. The ideas of self-knowledge, God-knowledge, true happiness in life, kindred work, the theory of the Bible as a world of symbols and the concept of three worlds are realized in the treatises of the thinker at different ideological and thematic levels. Particular attention is paid to the issue of self-knowledge of a person, which deals with the possibility of understanding others through the prism of self-understanding. A person knows himself/herself with his/her heart, and loves and believes in what he/she has come to know. The philosophy of the heart with the imagesymbol of the heart, i.e. the idea of cordocentrism, which is key to the writer's creativity in general, is analyzed. The article also presents a philosophical interpretation of the concepts of God and faith, where faith is combined with the love of God. Understanding of Hryhoriy Skovoroda's life model, namely "life according to nature", is presented. The opinion is asserted that a human can become truly happy if he/she can find their path and vocation. Dissociating theirselves from material things and the superiority of the position, according to the writer's opinion, work should correspond to the nature of a person, then he/she will have desire to work, and the work will be pleasure. In order to find a job people need to listen to themselves and get to know their essence, not looking for advice from someone. The reason is that the person himself/herself knows what he/she really needs. It is also about the idea of "related work", which is based on the knowledge and use of a person's natural inclinations, and in fact is a guarantee of his/her happiness and the most important prerequisite for the development of society.
