Abstract

The article examines the anthropological problems of H. Skovoroda's philosophy. It is shown that in the dimension of the objectively possible Macrocosm and the subjectively appropriate Microcosm, a person appears as a God-man in the Ukrainian thinker. In the implementation of the principle of self-discovery, a person reveals himself in two aspects – the inner and the outer person. The thinker calls the inner man a true man, while the outer appearance, the body itself, is only a shell of a person. It is emphasized that the Skovoroda’s teaching about man was created in the spirit of biblical anthropology, emphasizing the unique personality of man, taken in its depth comprehended by the mind. It is noted that the Ukrainian thinker, developing the problems of the presence of God in man, speaks of a double birth: one from the flesh, and the other from the Spirit. Spiritual birth opens the way to self-discovery and self-creation. Such a person, self-aware from the feeling of the Spirit in himself, becomes not only a source for his own use, but also an example for everyone. The example and image of a true person is Jesus Christ, who opens the way to the formation and upbringing of spirituality. It is shown that the presence of God in man simultaneously creates the idea of inner and outer man. Their opposition leads to an understanding of the need for internal improvement. The theme of the Mountain Republic is analyzed, which appears as the idea of a society of morally perfect people living on the basis of self-dicovery and self-education. It is noted that Hrigory Skovoroda's anthropology occupies a central place in his cordocentrism (philosophy of the heart). It is a manifestation of the Ukrainian cultural and intellectual paradigm, always oriented towards European philosophy, its personalistic dimension. In its context, the national identity of the Ukrainian people is formed.
