Abstract
In the article the author examines the social philosophy of D.A. Khomyakov, which is a theoretical explication of the “Orthodoxy. Autocracy. Nationality” formula. The author shows that in this formula Orthodoxy is interpreted not only as a system of dogmas, canons and traditions, but as an integral worldview of the people, formed by this system for many centuries. Accordingly, nationality and autocracy are not something external to Orthodoxy, but constitutes the forms of its concrete historical embodiment in the life of the people. Such understanding of “Uvarov’s formula” gives it a universal meaning, not tied to a specifi c era, but indicating the “ideal” principles of the life of Orthodox people, which cannot always be realized, but are a kind of “canon” of the historical existence of Russia. Proceeding form this, D.A. Khomyakov gives an Orthodox interpretation of a number of “issues” of modernity: about the social system, culture, science, feminism, etc.
