PROGRAMS FOR OVERCOMING THE CRISIS OF CIVILIZATION IN THE CULTURAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASPECTS

Abstract

In this article we have considered the religious culture in the Russian civilizational process, which involves studies of the main question - the question of what is existential mentality of Russian people and how it allows people to civilize in terms of the formation of the civil identity. Phil-osophical comparative studies or comparative philoso-phy is an area of historical and philosophical studies, which compares different levels of the hierarchy (con-cept, doctrine, system) of the philosophical heritage of East and West, which we have tried to address in this article. Modern foreign (Western and Eastern) philosoph-ical comparative studies as a relatively independent branch (direction) of historical and philosophical studies and as an academic discipline is in our opinion at the stage of its institutional and conceptual formation. The relevance of this article is due to several factors, namely the crisis of European culture was perceived by Russian philosophers - representatives of Russian reli-gious Renaissance as the influence on the spiritual at-mosphere of Russian society and the mentality of Rus-sian creative intelligentsia. Was this crisis a local phe-nomenon, limited in spatial and temporal relation, typical for Western European tradition or not - that’s what we tried to reveal in this research. Russia no less than West-ern Europe, experienced acute crisis events in the first third of the XX century. In this regard (co-crisis of the epoch is obvious), the theme of the Western culture cri-sis becomes one of the central themes in the works of Russian philosophers of this period. With high probabil-ity we can say that all Russian thinkers of this time in varying degrees addressed the issue of social and cul-tural crisis in the West.
