Abstract

The scientist's creative path was extremely multifaceted. It is difficult to single out a purely philosophical, pedagogical or theological stage in it, because they were organically combined due to the scientist's deep knowledge of European science and the domestic spiritual tradition. His work was permeated with philosophical and worldview optimism, faith in the fact that a person is able to combine knowledge and faith, reason and heart. In the revolutionary years (1918) he was appointed Minister of Religious Affairs in the Ukrainian state, headed by Hetman P. Skoropadsky. While in the position of minister, he raised the important issue of Ukrainization of worship, translation of the Bible and liturgical books into Ukrainian. On his initiative, the Ukrainian Church Council was convened, at which a decision was made that peace, tolerance and cooperation should become the main imperatives of the church. After the Bolsheviks came to power, the scientist was forced to emigrate, first in Yugoslavia, then in Czechoslovakia, and from 1926 in Paris. He took an active part in the opening of the Paris Orthodox Theological Institute, where he headed the philosophy department, and from 1944 until his death he was the dean of the institute. He pays great attention to social and religious aspects. At the same time, according to Zenkovsky, the main means of "social assimilation" is the creative perception of language by a child. Together with language, he convincingly proves that a child assimilates a whole system of ideas, beliefs, understanding of the world and man. "Language reflects the history of the people, its character. Therefore, nothing can so well and directly enter the people's soul as language, which as if contains the music of the people's soul." The scientist advocated its broad coverage in the context of the entire cultural life of the country. Main works: "Social Education, Its Tasks and Ways" (1918), "On Social Education" (1920), "Psychology of Childhood" (1924), etc.
