TRADITIONALISM AS A CONCEPTUAL BASIS FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE STATE IN THE ORTHODOX WORLD (AN EXPERIENCE OF THE EAST SLAVIC CIVILIZATION)

Abstract

In the article the author studies the phenomenon of traditionalism in the formation and development of the civilization of the Orthodox world as an imperative of the sustainable development of the East Slavic civilization. The dialectic of traditions and innovations in the dialogue between the church and the state of the Eastern Slavic civilization is explored. The article addresses concepts by N. Ya. Danilevsky and K. N. Leontyev that correspond to the traditionalist understanding of historical development. The focused analysis of these concepts has made it possible both to identify the philosophical and conceptual foundations of traditionalism as a specific feature of the Orthodox civilization and justify the social experience of interaction between the church and the state.
