DEVELOPMENT OF DOMESTIC PHILOSOPHIC - PSYCHOLOGICAL THOUGHT IN THE XVII CENTURY
Rapid economic and political development of Russia in the XVII century staticizes development of scientific knowledge. At this time new educational institutions open, there are manuscripts of textbooks. The philosophy is in a special form of public consciousness. In development of psychological thought of the XVII century the big role plays the Kiev-Mohyla board founded in 1632 which received in 1701 under Peter I's decree the status of academy. It was the first higher educational institution on East Slavic lands. Up to opening Moscow (1755) and Kharkov (1805) universities, it was the center of the higher education for Slavs. There were first high school teachers and first textbooks of psychology. Among them are: the textbook of brothers Likhudy, «The treatise about soul» the professor of philosophy I. Gizel, «Psychology, or the Treatise about soul» the professor of philosophy Stefan Yavorsky and «Psychology, or the Treatise about soul» the professor I. Popovsky. Yury Krizhanich who the first of Slavic thinkers famous to us raised the questions making competence of social and political psychology much did for formation of the higher education in Russia. As the result of the previous development of psychological ideas in Russia, in the XVII century psychology becomes a teaching subject, separate of divinity, in Kiev-Mohyla and Slavic-Greek-Latin academies. The secular knowledge separates from theological, prerequisites for emergence of science as independent knowledge are created. Thus, Old Russian wisdom gradually evolves in the Russian philosophy of Modern times. The domestic thought more closely connects with European, keeping, nevertheless, the originality. Monasteries were the centers of education and dissemination of knowledge in Russia of the XVII century, as well as in Europe. Gradually secular knowledge separates from theological, prerequisites for emergence of science as independent knowledge appeared.
