Problem of the Sacral in Philosophical Research of Person

Abstract

In article the problem of the sacral from the point of view of philosophical anthropology is analyzed. The author considers philosophy sacral as the discourse which developed at a boundary of the XIX-XX centuries under the influence of blossoming of sciences. The thesis locates in article that the philosophy sacral is realization of idea of death of God and the idea of death of the person interconnected with it as it based on two basic principles – an immanentizm and pluralism. The author carries out distinction between a discourse sacral in the European philosophical tradition and misterialny discourse in the Russian philosophical tradition. Rotating in a reflection about religion round identical subjects, representatives of the European and Russian philosophy open in their various and often opposite way. The European philosophy is focused on representation according to which the world shares on sacral and profanny areas which are immanent to the world. The Russian – proceeds from idea of the world consecrated in the cult connecting transcendental and immanent measurements of life. The European philosophy sees a psychological phenomenon in fear, forcing it to work as the discharging, averting beginning. The Russian, on the contrary, considers fear as a necessary mystical step on the way to God, removing a problem of ambivalence of the sacral. For the European tradition the victim appears mainly a phenomenon social, for the Russian – anthropological.
