Prospects for the use of the approaches of Russian religious philosophy by graduates and students of far eastern theological seminaries and other subjects of orthodox educational and preaching activities in the conditions of the Russian Far East: the significance for the clarification by these subjects of a number of provisions of the "fundamentals of the social concept of the Russian orthodox church"

Potapchuk Vladimir Iosifovich, Dobrykh Alexey Vyacheslavovich

This article analyzes the problems associated with the use in Orthodox educational and preaching activities of the views of famous Russian religious philosophers on the problems of the material and spiritual, on the nature of the Church and human life in it - as well as the prospects for such use in explaining a number of provisions of the «Fundamentals of the social Concept of the ROC». The authors of the article believe that in modern conditions (especially in the conditions of the modern Russian Far East), it has become very difficult for students and graduates of theological seminaries, Orthodox clergy and other people engaged in Orthodox educational work to implement key tasks within its framework. This activity currently requires particularly flexible thinking and a very broad philosophical and other outlook. Of course, people who carry out such work should rely, first of all, on traditional Orthodox canons, ideas and postulates (including those contained in the «Fundamentals of the Social Concept of the ROC»). At the same time, to clarify any specific private nuances, these people may benefit from the views and judgments of famous Russian religious philosophers associated with such private nuances.
