ПРОЦЕСИ ІНКУЛЬТУРАЦІЇ У ХРИСТИЯНСЬКІЙ КУЛЬТУРІ УКРАЇНИ
The processes of inculturation in the christian culture of Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays the problem of analysis of the inculturation process essence including its religious interpretation is rather interesting and it is the subject of the many scientists researches such as V. Vernadsky, P. Gurevich, A. Kolodnyj, V. Picha, A. Richinskyj, L. Filipovich, A. Flier, P.Yarocky and others. The discovering of inculturation of the christianity in John Paul’s II encyclicals, "Fides of et of Ratio" ("Faith and mind") is the most important and perspective.The inculturation is not only a method of the cultural achievements capture and a process of envolving to the culture but as a result of this process too. In every cultural act a man creates himself through a culture, asserts himself as personality. So the inculturation includes a creative moment. Actually, the attaching to the culture gets the meaningfulness and imperativeness for the personality, helps him/her to harmonise practical and spiritual life, give the personality’s contradictions the measured forms, helps the personality to direct his/her spiritually power potential into the creation, but not into the destructions.It is underlined that a important place in inculturation of the personality belongs to the components of spiritual culture, including the religion. The semiotists makes the analogy between the general structure of culture and a language so we can say that we have the right to make the same analogy between a culture and the religion which is based on a germination normative regular functions in the social cultural sphere of life.If a man dissatisfies a cultureal concepts which accepted in the process of inculturation he/she changes the direction of spiritual searches and turns to the forms of culture, which have an irrational religious spiritual nature. The spiritual freedom, being formed in essence of the cultural consciousness and represents a man’s will to the spiritual improvement, orientated on the higher ideals of human being, declares about itself. The free spiritual "I" actively resists the hard pressure of the mastered social cultural orders. In the process of definiting on the higher stages of inculturation (as the result of own endless spiritual efforts, independent from the world) it understands the prospects of the further spiritual seachers. As we can see, the most important place in the inculturation belongs to the concepts of spiritual culture, including the religion.The processes of inculturation lead to the fact that a theologema becomes the special cultural and historical modification of mithology, in which causally value of the moral spiritual problems enter into the context of transcendent reality and overpeer to the absolute of God. The theologema of God defences the moral ethic norms of society, makes a man understand the own involvement to the harmonious foundations and higher moral senses of life.
