Personal ontology vs good ontology: about two paradigms in Russian ethics
The article raises the methodological problem of differentiating the ideological origins of the views of russian ethical thinkers. Following the judgments of several modern researchers in the study of russian religious philosophy, the author of the article identifies two ontological principles underlying the ethical works of russian religious thinkers at the turn of the century: 1) european idealism based on catholicism and protestantism; 2) eastern patristic thought, orthodox christianity. Two ontological principles determine the specificity of two ethical paradigms that existed in russian religious ethics at the turn of the century. european idealism leads to the formation of ethical absolutism, or the ontology of good, the ontology of the highest values. Eastern patristic thought, based on the idea of communion with god, becomes the source of the ontology of - personality, developed in several modern philosophical and theological works. The ontology of personality leads to the creation of a certain type of ethical teaching based on the idea of personal communication with god and responsible participation in the conciliar nature of the church and the life of other people.
