Abstract
One of the extremely urgent problems of modern anthropology is the problem of the whole person, more precisely, the problem of the completeness of his nature. It includes many elements of a different nature, which raises the question of the existence of a center that controls human activity as an integral being. The author proceeds from the fact that such a coordinating center, in accordance with historical, philosophical and religious studies, is the human heart. The article analyzes the features of understanding the heart, presented in the philosophical and religious literature. Special attention is paid to the views of the Christian philosopher A. S. Pozov, who takes a clear position in revealing the fundamental role of the human heart in all the diversity of its existence. The functional elements of cardiac activity, which can be of practical importance, have been identified. A series of questions about the practical applications of heart problem research has been formulated. This is the role and significance of the heart in the transition to a digital society. These are, further, the ways and means of transformation of human nature and their justification. Finally, following I. A. Ilyin, we talk about the need to study the evolution of the forms of “heart contemplation.”
Highlights
In philosophical and religious anthropology, the nature of man, his multi-composition is discussed in detail, efforts are made to reveal the essence of man, the evolution of man, his ages, the meaning of life, death and immortality are investigated
Yurkevich directly writes that the one who “reads the word of God with due attention, he can notice that in all sacred books and in all God-inspired writers, the human heart is considered as the focus of the entire bodily and spiritual life of a person, as the most essential organ and the nearest seat of all forces, directions, movements, desires, feelings and thoughts of a person with all their directions and shades
We will collect some passages from Scripture, from which it will be seen that this view of the sacred writers on the essence and significance of the human heart in all areas of human life is distinguished by certainty, clarity and all signs of conscious conviction, and we will compare this biblical teaching with views on this subject that dominate in modern science” [7]
Summary
In philosophical and religious anthropology, the nature of man, his multi-composition is discussed in detail, efforts are made to reveal the essence of man, the evolution of man, his ages, the meaning of life, death and immortality are investigated. We deliberately allowed the following line of thought: let a person be a multiple, many-sided being, and every time he reveals himself to the world in some way If he is just like that - multiple, his manifestation in the world in a certain way (the “image” of a person is his projection into the local world) is carried out in the form of a kind of coherence, singularity: a person is multitude, but each of his images in the world is something a single, tied in a tight knot, where its various elements somehow "manage" to come together to show a person to the world in a certain way. Let there be a great variety of these very images, but each image, composed of a number of elements, turns out to be a kind of integral picture in which these elements are interconnected This is where a rather complicated problem of the integrity of a person arises, the presence of a single-separate structure in which much is compositionally linked into what we call a person. Some peoples of the North do not have a common concept of "snow", but there are words to designate its various states
