HUMAN SPIRITUALITY MIRRORED IN PSYCHOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND IN RELIGIOUS FAITH

Scientific psychological and rheological approaches to human spiritual ity are analysed. Principal differences in the interpretation of <<kno wledge>> and <<truth>> notions in science and religion are shown. The author argues that not every scientific knowledge is connected with sp iritual <<I>>, The knowledge becomes spiritual only when it becomes pe rsonally meaningful. Four basic directions of spirituality investigati on (the looking for spirituality roots in culture; situative and perso nal factors of spiritual states origin analysis; the studies of spirit uality as self-development and self-realization; consideration of spir ituality as a divine revelation in Christian psychology) are analysed.
