The Idea of Living in Religious-Philosophical Discourse

Abstract

The article investigates the origins of the idea of religious-philosophical discourse in the doctrine of the living. Based on the analysis of ancient philosophical thought and the subsequent, based on it, views of early Christian thinkers, a perspective is formed on the idea of the living as a special type of religious-philosophical discourse based on the principles of creationism, theocentrism and subordinationism. It is concluded that early Christian religious philosophy supported and affirmed the ideas of the value of the living as the creation of God, a trembling attitude toward it, adoring any manifestation of life, giving it spiritual and moral dimensions.
