Person's spirituality mirrored in psychological knowledge and in religious faith
(resume)
Scientific psychological and theological
approaches to human spirituality are analysed.
Principal differences in the interpretation of
"knowledge" and "truth" notions in science and
religion are shown. The author argues that not
every scientific knowledge is connected with
spiritual "I". The knowledge becomes spiritual
only when it becomes personally meaningful. Four
basic directions of spirituality investigation
(the looking for spirituality roots in culture;
situative and personal factors of spiritual states
origin analysis; the studies of spirituality as
self-development and self-realization;
consideration of spirituality as a divine
revelation in Christian psychology) are analysed.
