Yakusha V. Conceptualization of religious experience in modern analytical philosophy

The dissertation research was conducted on the basis of the problems of the philosophy of religion and ontology within the framework of the analytical tradition and phenomenological projects, through which a holistic vision of the phenomenon of religious experience was revealed. Scientific research required going beyond a single method and applying a polymethodological and multidisciplinary approach, which is why certain aspects related to hermeneutics, philosophy of law, jurisprudence, psychoanalysis were included in the subject field. The central task was to review the existing boundaries of the concept of “religious experience” and argue for the interpretation of such an experience as a key and defining characteristic of this phenomenon based on the developments of modern analytical philosophy. That is why the dissertation research is aimed at the conceptualization of religious experience in modern analytical philosophy by searching for relevant aspects of the study from the beginning of the introduction of this concept into philosophy to modern attempts to bring the problem to a more practically determined level, rationalize, and thus transform the approach to the study of religious experience with considering the changes in belief conditions.
