COMMUNITYAS CHURCH-SECULAR SOCIALITY IN SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY S. N. BULGAKOVA

Annotation

The article discusses the doctrine of community of the outstanding Russian philosopher and theologian S. N. Bugakova. The ecclesiastical and secular content of community as a dialectical unity of the spiritual principles of the individual and society is revealed. Theauthors concludethat the Bulgakov's philosophy of community defines community as a symbol of faith, social ideology and social ideal. Conciliarity as a symbol of faith lies at the basis of church sociality, community as a social ideology - secular sociality, community as a social ideal - church-secular sociality. Thus, the dialectical triad of development of the category of sociality is distinguished: church sociality - secular sociality - church-secular sociality. Church sociality, church secular sociality and secular sociality correspond to various types of personality and activity. In church sociality a «canonical personality» arises, in church-secular sociality a «conciliar personality» arises, in secular sociality a «collective personality» arises. All forms of sociality are updated in the activity. Activities in church and secular sociality are characterized by dialectical contradictions: individual and collective, spiritual and material, sacred and worldly, divine and human. Orthodox collegiality is the dialectical removal of these contradictions in the experience of a whole and holistic life.
