Abstract

The article deals with the attitude of Orthodox doctrine about the person and society to a number of European and American social concepts, including "social evangelism," "positivist sociology" (using the example of G. Spencer), Nietzscheanism, "organistic" con-cepts of social development. It is concluded that, despite the desire to find their interpretation of social processes based on the patristic tradition, representatives of spiritual and academic philosophy used the conceptual ideas of Catholic and Protestant au-thors, especially the latter's criticism of positivism and Nietzscheanism when considering social issues. In addition, the article indi-cates a close connection between the Orthodox doctrine of society and the study of the ethical and social nature of man.
