HUMAN VOCATION AND PURPOSE: RELIGIOUS ANDPHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING
The religious and philosophical understanding focuses on the problem of human vocation and destiny, the problem of accepting and following your individual life path, self-creation. The study of the problem of vocation and purpose opens up a number of issues that require reflection: fate, freedom, meaning-making, self-creation, subjectivity and authorship of one's own life project. In philosophical dictionaries, "vocation" is understood as a special disposition, inclination or attraction of a person to some kind of activity, the work of his whole life. The Christian tradition offers an understanding of vocation as the Divine will acting in a person and society, directing to the good, realizing the Divine Providence. It seems to us animportant step towards the integration of definitions and the formulation of theses that orient a person on his individual path of vocation and purpose. We are talking about a person's need for adapted, understandable at the level of everyday life, orienting knowledge. Theses that reveal the essence of vocation and purpose for everyday consciousness are the purpose of our research.
