https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2026-1-1689
Abstract
Aim. To synthesise main sources of Metropolitan Philaret’s spiritual and political doctrines, containing his theological, social-political, and legal views on the state and government.
Methodology. The selection of texts was made considering the introduction of the concepts of “spiritual and political thought” and “guardianship” into political science.
Results. The synthesis of the main works of Metropolitan Philaret, containing his spiritual and political teaching, has been carried out. The main topics covered in each individual essay are summarized. An analysis of the sources made it possible to conclude that the basis of Metropolitan Philaret’s spiritual and political doctrines is the synthesis of theological and political systems through their concepts and structures.
Research implications. The synthesis of the main sources of Metropolitan Philaret’s spiritual and political teachings is a theoretical basis for analysing Metropolitan Philaret’s theological, social-political, and legal views on the state and government in order to differentiate, systematize, and subsequently conceptualize Metropolitan Philaret’s spiritual and political doctrines.
