Human concept as an original anthropological teaching of V.I. Nesmelov

Fisenko Grigory Fedorovich

The article reveals the main provisions of the concept of man, which he developed at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries russian religious philosopher V.I. Nesmelov, who presented it primarily in the work "The Science of Man". It is noted that the main position, which is put forward by the philosopher from the point of view of metaphysical psychology, is the presence of physical and ideal components in the structure of a human personality. The contradiction of the personality that determines the life of a person consists in the fact that he is forced to exist in a physical shell and cannot escape from the clutches of the material, while fully realizing his ideal nature and direct connection with God. This contradiction dictates the author's interpretation of the concepts of human happiness and unhappiness, self-awareness in the structure of his personality, his conscience and morality, freedom, the relationship between physical and spiritual principles, life, death and resurrection.
