The Russian tradition of religious tolerance perception in the works of Russian thinkers of the XIX-XX centuries and modern realities

The subject of the study is the ethical principle of religious tolerance. The aim was to study the Russian tradition of perception of the principle of religious tolerance and to build a theoretical model of religious tolerance, reflecting both historical experience and ideas. The work uses ethical, culturological and logical-methodological approaches. The first two allow us to consider religious tolerance as an ethical principle and as one of the important components of a person's spiritual life. The latter contributes to the disclosure of the principle of religious tolerance in its entirety. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that an ethical and cultural approach to the study of the principle of religious tolerance is proposed; the Russian tradition of perception of religious tolerance is revealed, a theoretical model of religious tolerance is built; a logical and methodological analysis of religious tolerance as an ethical principle is carried out, which allowed to reveal its structure and interrelated elements; the dynamics of the appeal of domestic authors to the topic of religious tolerance is demonstrated on the materials of the National Corpus of Russian language. The results of the study coincide with the scientific novelty. The relevance of the study is due to the possibility of its use in the development of the national idea of Russia. The practical significance lies in the possibility of applying the results in the field of education and socio-humanities, in legislative, as well as internal and foreign policy activities of Russia.
