PROTOCONCEPTION OF EXISTENTIAL ROOTEDNESS OF MAN IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF HRYHORІІ SKOVORODA

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the experience of Hrуhoriі Skovoroda's philosophy of thinking in the context of the concept of man's rooting. It is emphasized that the basis for the teaching of the philosopher were moral and ethical reflections, and their main object was the spiritual world of man, knowledge of nature and the essence of personality, possibilities and the necessity of achieving happiness and freedom. The latter is realized through self-knowledge, moral perfection of man, through activities aimed at self-creation and the search for affinity. The understanding of the “affinity of labor” by Н. Skovoroda correlates with the concept of man's rooting by virtue of the existential nature and orientation of unrooted man who has no support in the world. The anthropologically-existential character of the concept of “affinity of labor” is emphasized, which makes it possible to define it as a spiritual and practical way of man rootedness, the epicentre of which are moral values and personal feelings.
