Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the anthropocentrism of social networks through the concepts of Bernard Lonergan, a Canadian Catholic theologian and philosopher, and the Ukrainian orthodox school of the “philosophy of heart”: both have similar ideas despite the lapse of time and differences in cultural and national traditions. The anthropocentric parameters of social networks organization prove the concepts of Lonergan and the “philosophy of heart”. The analysis of social networks through the prism of the concepts of Bernard Lonergan and the Ukrainian orthodox school of the “philosophy of heart” show their anthropological orientation and affinity in solving such issues as: dialogism as the basis of development of a person, society, and science; tolerance as respect for the “difference” of others; “question” as an attribute of spirituality; love as the moral basis of anthropologization of God; person as a microcosm. The extrapolation of the ideas of B. Lonergan and the school of the “philosophy of heart” in the sphere of discourse-analysis of social networks allows one to conclude to their systemic anthropocentric organization and to wide possibilities of a religious interpretation of discourses of social networks.
