Влияние цифровой трансформации на религиозную жизнь человека и ее критика с позиций православной антропологии
The author examines the main trends in the digitalization of religion, focusing on the processes that occur within Christianity. The article emphasizes that with the onset of the process of modernization and secularization in the 19th century, the Christian Church faced the issue of finding forms of existence in the new reality. Today, this task is still relevant and is aimed at finding the “golden mean”, that is, a solution in which it is possible to preserve the fundamental principles of Christianity without abandoning the achievements of scientific and technological progress. The author notes that the complexity of the task lies in the fact that the digitalization process is built on a special algorithmic type of thinking and a rationalistic coding language, which is opposed to a religious type of thinking with super-rational and spiritual elements. At the same time, the article analyzes how the introduction of digital technologies into religious life can transform the essential characteristics of not only the Church, but also a person. The author emphasizes that the anthropological risks of the current stage are associated precisely with an attempt to minimize the sacred element in religious life. Modern digitalization not only changes technologies, but also restructures anthropological and socio-cultural contexts. This position is substantiated in the article using criticism of information and digital progress from Orthodox anthropology. The emphasis is on the views of Sergey Horujy and Metropolitan John (Zizioulas), as well as modern theologians, sociologists of religion and church leaders. At the same time, the key risks and challenges of digital transformation are described. The author examines them in the framework of anthropological degradation, through the loss of the spiritual dimension by man and the destruction of deep aspects of human freedom and unity of personality.
