On the theory of culture from the point of view of orthodox anthropology

The article attempts to form culturology on the basis of the Orthodox worldview. Culturology, which includes the general theory of culture, is a science that received a powerful impetus in its formation in the late Soviet period and developed in the last half century mainly in Russia and in the post-Soviet space. (Abroad, there is no exact correspondence to Russian culturology.) This discipline has developed a rich theoretical base, but its starting point was Marxism as its birthmark. Our task was to take everything valuable from the theoretical experience of Soviet and post-Soviet culturology, but insert it into a different worldview frame and try to build an Orthodox culturology that would be based on Orthodox anthropology, while maintaining a scientific approach to the subject of research. This article is an introduction to the project carried out by the author.
