Kompaniets L. Philosophical and Religious Perception of Reincarnation in a Mystical Space of Culture

The thesis deals with the issue of overcoming alienation of the reincarnation and resurrection ideas within the consciousness of spiritual cultures. The semantic core of the reincarnation idea and trajectories of its implementation in the religious world have been developed. The concept of a Western vector of reincarnation development has been identified and substantiated on the basis of an interdisciplinary integrated analysis. A theoretical model of paradox, the unity of opposites of reincarnation and resurrection ideas has been built on the level of etymological and contextual reconstruction constituting a conceptual basis for Christian, philosophical, and theosophical tradition. A universal model of reincarnation has been developed within which the latter is dealt with as a universal attribute, process and state of human existence and universe (spiritual and physical dimensions of being). Reincarnation is represented as an absolute constant of religious cultures (a concept, principle), an integral element of philosophical, theological, theosophical, and scientific thought. The necessity of cultivating new areas of research representing an objective view of the universal truths of spiritual content has been demonstrated.
