The thesis is the first scholarly study within Ukrainian religious studies suggested a complex philosophical and religious studies analysis Orthodox thought postmodern. The sources of the new paradigm of Orthodox theology, which is post-neopatrists became liturgical theology, biblical theology and existentialism. The formation of Post-Neo-Patristics as a special paradigm was completed as a result of the formation of postmodern "theaesthetics" as the phenomenology of the sensory experience of the presence of apophatic God and the hermeneutics of involvement in the absolute transcendentals of beauty, truth and love. Specific features of the anthropological doctrine of Post-Neo-Patristics were the recognition of the ecstaticity of the existential, the ethical-ontological doctrine of the necessity of absolute acceptance of the "other", the positive evaluation of the diversity of identities, the denial of the existence of dialysis of rational and sensual. Representatives of Post-Neo-Patristics own political theology, which systematically substantiates democratic values and principles, pacifism and methods of post-capitalist solidarity. Within the framework of Post-Neo-Patristics, a new type of Orthodox ecumenical thought is forming, which emphasizes the existence of the unity of the church, proves the absence of significant differences in theology between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, treating the latter as two complementary theories and practices.
