Summary/Abstract: The philosophical-religious vision of H. Skovoroda is deeply linked with both historical-cultural and personal context and, moreover, it has profound ideological significance. A prominent 18th-century Ukrainian thinker as an ambitious proponent of open reflection on the relationship and mutual permeation of the visible and the invisible realities puts a strong emphasis on the de¬velopment of human sensitivity in relation to defined relationships. According to Skovoroda, the human person has a unique role to analyze in himself the differences and contradictions existing between the two worlds. Being a corporeal and spiritual essence, man is an allegorical reflection of this reference, to which the entire material and supernatural reality is doomed. Thanks to the supe¬rior spiritual structure, which designates the true meaning and purpose of human existence, every human being can keep their identity in accordance with their vocation.
