Abstract
This article focuses on the analysis of the concept of love in the religious philosophy of Pavel Florensky, who shares the ontological approach to the consideration of love with other representatives of Russian religious philosophy (N. berdyaev and S. bulgakov). We pay more careful attention to the understanding of love-άγαπαν by Florensky. We have drawn the conclusion that, in the philosophy of P. Florensky, Love, closely connected with truth and beauty, is considered an ontological basis existence of personality. We develop the ideas of Pavel Florensky, and accordingly assume that it is possible to synthesise love-agape and love-eros around the idea of sacrificial love. Agapelogical and erotical ‘bezels’ of one jewel of love is aspects of united love, which is given by God. this gift of God, the gift of united love, is kept by humans through prayer and deeds of love.

Summary
One of the directions of the philosophy of love is represented by P. The main proof of response to love for God is the ability to suffer and proceed into death for Christ and beloved the person: God’s love (eros) for men emptied God He does not stay in His own place and call the slave. Love-agape moderately exists in the will and expresses itself in the free election of the love’s object, as well as in the mind, which is connected to an objective assessment of the value of loving personality; tyranny, mental uncertainty, passion, immoderacy. Friendship between man and God, the eucharistic unity of Christians, selfless compassion, self-sacrifice for the sake of other, freedom and compassion are the highest value of this love-agape. The historical experience of the soul, which had these kinds of connection, can be useful for the spiritual development and birth of eternal sacrificial love In our opinion, both eros and agape can be sacrificial love. Love-agape as truly love-eros is the result of spiritual ways; it is the final victory over the ghosts and the idols of ‘love’. true-I and true-You are one in God, in love-agape. the perfection and the happiness or benefit, which is the goal of every rational soul, is possible in this love
