Journal Title: ИДЕИ. ФИЛОСОФСКО СПИСАНИЕ - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
In the article it is analyzed the correlation between the ethical and soteriological dimensions of religious and atheistic existentialism. On the ground of compared investigation of the religious and atheistic existentialists’ ideas the author shows the potencies of methodological synergy of the ethical and anthropological aspects of these philosophical streams. The main conclusions of the study are: 1) the existentialism is the reaction on the crisis of rationalistic and church-dogmatic views concerning the sense of human self-determination in the world; 2) the existential philosophy actualizes the personalistic intention to the sense of life problems; 3) S.Kierkegaard’s ideas have in this aspect the important methodological innovation and conceptual topicality; 4) the religious and atheistic existentialist’s ideas about correlation between ethical and soteriological elements of weltanschauung are methodologically different, but they also have several common phenomenological intuitions; 5) the synthesis of the constructive ideas of religious and atheistic existentialism is methodologically possible and its results consist in the balance of the faith’s impulses and active vital position and moral responsibility for our project of life. The faith in God as Absolute must be combined with the faith in absolute value of human person. Mystical attitude must be only the stage of spiritual concentration for creative humanistic self-determination in the world.
