SERGEY BULGAKOV’S VIEW OF INDIVIDUAL SOCIALIZATION AS A BASIS OF SOCIAL RENOVATION

Abstract

This article focuses on Sergey Bulgakov’s view of individual socialization as a basis of social renovation through three main scenarios: socialization before God, before the World and before oneself. The philosopher treated socialization in broad terms, i.e. as a multitude of aspects indispensable for a normal life where “legal and social necessity” is considered a quintessence of the whole process of socialization. He considered social renovation of personality as based on the harmony of three ways of socialization and reaching a high level of religious, ethic, social and legal obligation in a human soul.
