Summary

About the book

What is meant by Orthodox civilization? The population of a country inherits a certain capacity for social messages. The inheritance of religious affiliation is particularly characteristic of the Orthodox religious community. Orthodox Christianity is treated not only as an inalienable part of national identities, but is also interpreted as the only possible Christianity: “the only and correct faith”.

As a basic problem question, it imposes how, to what extent, and in what ways does the Orthodox approach to the Christian faith determine social relations and material achievements in something that we could summarize under the term Orthodox civilization? The book aims to depict the area of ​​manifestation of the Orthodox approach to the Christian faith from collective representations and to interpret the system of meanings and valuations.

What are all the questions that the author of this monograph deals with? What did the victory of the iconophiles lead to? What are masses and what are litanies? Read about what holidays were associated with in pagan times in the unique book "The Logic of Orthodox Civilization".
