This work is devoted to analysis of the Foundation of human society – the beginning of spiritual. In society there is increasing recognition of the idea that developed in the different epochs of Russian history, eminent philosophers, scientists and writers, that without the recognition of Absolutes, ideals and moral prohibitions, without following the universal norms and principles, and most importantly, without the idealization and the symbolization of sticking to the past in everyday life, it is impossible for spiritual revival and moral purification of society and the individual. Thus, come together ideas about spiritual, moral, and religious - Orthodox and symbolic in philosophical outlook, artistic and aesthetic culture.

Keywords:spirituality, moral values, Russian religious philosophers, symbol, symbolism, spiritual culture
