The article raises the problem of the paradigm foundations of science, explores the relationship between the “bitter fruits” of civilization and the theoretical foundation on which it is built. A hypothesis is put forward for discussion about the possibility of a theological rethinking of the paradigm of science, a change in this paradigm, and a different foundation for science. The author makes the assumption that this task is feasible, since European culture, its very rationality, which gave rise to a frightening colossus, has grown from a Christian root. Moreover, Christianity in relation to the pagan culture of late antiquity, which it managed to church, was much more radically other-natural than it is now in relation to its own “misguided child”. The genetic connection between the forms of culture and the cult that gives rise to it is shown on the example of the development of the secular culture of the New Age - on the sociological data from the study of M. Weber, as well as on examples from the field of art. Further, alternative models of relations between man and the nature the masters are considered: in Greek antiquity, in Russian religious philosophy. Particular attention is paid to the conceptual approaches of Fr. Pavel Florensky. In conclusion, it is concluded that it is necessary to shift the focus of attention in this problematic from scientific theory to a person, its creator, in whose hands are the key landmarks of civilization: whether it serves the idol of progress, or aims at the ideal of transformation.
