Spirituality education as an ontological problem

The article deals with the process of education from the ontological point of view. The essence of the phenomenon of spirituality and its ontological content are revealed through the anthropological analysis in the context of orthodox theology. The current research on the spiritual education of pupils show that the awareness of the problem in the secular and the religious aspects is much like each other. However, a different understanding of the source of the spiritual in man leads to a different interpretation of the meaning of human life and human education.
