Axiology of nature in Ukrainian cordocentrism: philosophical-educational intentions

Abstract

In the context of understanding the contemporary environmental issues the reference to the domestic philosophical heritage becomes vital. The article reveals the axiological potential of the philosophy of cordocentrism, shows its structural positions and determines its capabilities in the process of the harmonization of the personality’s internal world and its relationship with the external world. There exists an idea that the philosophers-cordocentrists determine the true human-dimensional morality in the human relations and the relation to the natural world not only as a bare duty, but also as a human nature in general. Its cornerstone is the heart as the centre of love and sincerity. The article emphasizes the fact that the philosophy of cordocentrism is not only a human-dimensional one but also axiologically enriched. It corresponds to the human nature, and therefore contributes to the harmonization of its inner world and the relationship with nature. The necessity of taking into account all mentioned above ideas in the process of the formation of learner’s axiology of the nature is presented in the article.
