Interpretation of the nature of the relation of faith and reason, religion and science in the Ukrainian spiritual heritage.

Abstract

The problem of interpreting the nature of the relation of faith and reason, religion and science to contemporary religious, scientific and Ukrainian scholars, philosophers and historians of science in the researches of spiritual development of Ukraine in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries. is rightfully placed in dependence on the prevailing religious and church priorities of this period. In our opinion, the dominance of religious-philosophical factors and church regulations and norms in the intellectual-spiritual sphere was important, but not the only reason for the relatively weak aspirations of science, culture, education in this period of Ukraine to develop productively, independently, independently, outside the care and control of the religious-church complex.
