Tіmchenko O. The concept of the social action in the context of the existential anthropology of M. Berdyaev.

In the thesis, the socio-philosophical concept of the social action, which reveals the methodological value of existential anthropology as a principle of the social philosophy that demonstrates the existence of different essential social characteristics of a human being, is analyzed. The concept, introduced in the thesis, defines socially-active, spiritually-free human being as existing due to his or her comprehension of inability to be socially active under the circumstances of being subordinate to one's will. Social-philosophical concept of organized society within existential-anthropological dimension, developed in Ukraine, is refined in the thesis. It is determined that existentially motivated self-organization of an individual, which ultimately leads to establishment of self-sufficient communities in general and the middle class in particular, serves as the genuine basis for society development in terms of social transformation. It is highlighted that the process of social creation is conducted not only through the acts of reflection or possibility to terminate the social process with the power of thought, but, above all, through spiritual creativity.
