МІЖКОНФЕСІЙНІ ВЗАЄМИНИ НА ТЕРЕНАХ УКРАЇНИ В ПЕРШІЙ ПОЛОВИНІ ХVІ СТ. ТА ЇХ ВПЛИВ НА ОСВІТУ ТА КУЛЬТУРУ

Urgency of the research. The urgency of the topic is due to the fact that the cultural activities of the Christian denominations have not yet been considered from this perspective. And the processes that took place in the social and cultural life of Ukraine in the early sixteenth century. as well as in the religious and ecclesiastical complex of Christianity in general, are analyzed in a panoramic and impartial manner. Target setting. The study of the religious-philosophical problem in the activity of Christian churches and their influence on the cultural life of Ukraine in the context of religious diversity is conducted. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. There are a number of basic studies that address some of the problems of Ukrainian humanism and some of the provisions of a general analysis of Renaissance human philosophy. These are, in particular, the works of D. Nalyvayko, V. Lytvynov, Y. Stratyi, P. Kraliuk, M. Kashuba, I. Paslavskiy, V. Gorskiy, O. Matkovska, B. Krysa, V. Lyubashchenko. The research objective. Research on the influence of the national idea of Ukrainian Catholics, Greek Catholics and Protestants on public opinion and their positive impact on the formation and development of Ukrainian national consciousness, education and culture. The statement of basic material. The article examines the spiritual and religious culture of Ukraine in the first half of the sixteenth century, which is one of the most interesting and poorly researched topics in the history of cultural development of Ukraine. It was during this period that the foundations were laid for the formation of early-modern national thought in its various ways -rationalistic and mystical; Renaissance-humanist and reformist ideas were formed, which later functioned and developed within the boundaries of Ukrainian Baroque culture. There is still an opinion that among the main Christian denominations in Ukraine -Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant and Uniate -national, state-building has always been and is still only Orthodox. As for the “Catholic movement” -Ukrainians of the Catholic faith, almost nothing is known about them in the general public. Meanwhile, from the point of view of national ideology, the "Catholic Rus" for the culture of Ukrainian did, probably, not less than the Greek Catholics or the Orthodox, and could produce no less than the cultural forces for both the Ukrainian material culture and the spiritual. Conclusions. Denationalization and Polonization of the Ukrainian Population in the 16th Century associated with the process of tickling. However, this process was not onesided. There was also a Ukrainianization of the Catholic environment. This found some manifestations in the activities of the Ukrainian Dominicans and some cultural centers. All this has not yet been sufficiently studied, although the need for this kind of knowledge is great because, given Ukraine's European choice, it is important to overcome outdated nihilistic dogmas.
