Culturological Approach to Studying Philosophical Component of Ukrainian Religious Texts of the Baroque Era

The main methodological approaches to studying the history of Ukrainian philosophical thought were systematized in the article. Among all the available methodological postulates and techniques, were chosen those most effective for studying philosophical component of Ukrainian early modern religious texts, for example, an approach that analyzes these texts through in light of philosophical culture. This methodological approach makes it possible to separate philosophical component from non-philosophical sources, such as sermons and theological treatises. In this case, the authors of religious compositions, subject to a number of criteria, are understood as bearers of philosophical culture. The philosophical component of their texts shows that philosophical knowledge, vocabulary and ideas are also reflected on at the non-academic level.
