Global Religious Consciousness: Systematic Approach
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The present era is marked by a new phase of globalization, with the formation of civilizational zones unified by culture, economics, and civilizational values, among which religion constitutes a crucial factor. Consequently, the investigation of the processes of transformation, globalization, and differentiation of religious conscious-ness is of paramount relevance. The article aims to develop a systematic model of global religious conscious-ness. For this purpose, the following tasks are solved: using a systematic approach, to develop a system of global religious consciousness, its threefold structure; to formulate the author's definition of global religious consciousness; to identify its generalized levels of development. The theoretical significance lies in defining and developing a system of global religious consciousness, while the practical significance is determined by the ability to apply the results to determining the levels of development, qualities of integrity, and social orienta-tion of religious consciousness in regions and social groups. Global religious consciousness appears as a spir-itual information system, the main properties of which are universality, co-evolution of religious values, mean-ings of the main world religions, the formation of a common religious and ideological field. The main content of global religious consciousness is the emerging global religious worldview, characterized by universality, includ-ing the interconnection and common foundations of existing world religions.
