METAPHYSICS OF FAITH: CONCEPT, GENESIS, PROBLEMATICS
The study offers an analysis of the metaphysics of faith, which is considered as true aspiration of Russian philosophy. The author grounds the methodological principles for this concept in the establishment of its differences and connections with the notions of spiritual cognition, mysticism, science, religion and morality. The author posits the transcendent foundation of metaphysics of faith, its incompatibility with pantheism, its striving for transcendent-immanent synthesis, interrelation between faith and reason. The article reveals contradictions and designates ways of further development of metaphysics of faith both as resulting from the premises of Russian philosophy and spiritual culture in general. Generally, metaphysics of faith is qualified as a special type of spiritual cognition, oriented towards the transcendent source and being realised precisely owing to it.
