Summary/Abstract: The article develops the process of comprehension of self "oneness" by 17’s century Ukrainian culture. The author notes that the understanding self "oneness" in early modern Ukrainian culture was not one-off phenomenon, and identifies four phases that Ukrainian Orthodox thinkers had to go on this way. Briefly describing the meaning of each of the phases, the author elaborates on the last of them, proving, that the Ukrainian Orthodox identity at that time was formed not on the basis of hermetization and dogmatic conservation of the tradition, but on the basis of openness to "the other" as well as in the process of conducting "internal" and "external" dialogues.
