LEGAL ASPECT OF THE INFLUENCE ON FORMING OPTIMAL PHILOSOPHICAL PARADIGM

 The article deals with the analysis of various aspects of the mutual influence of culture and religion, because reinterpretation of religion values, a meaningful, semantic element of religion is necessary and has evident practical dimension that affects forming of the optimal cultural paradigm. As the questions of the essence of religion have long been controversial they caused several basic approaches to understanding and defining religion, namely, theological, philosophical, sociological, psychological, and others, were formed which mainly differ in the explanatory principle. At the same time, all approaches are interconnected and, first of all, due to the influence of one on another, the use of one or another ideological tradition of the specific ideas of their opponents, and so on.  The article also analyses various philosophical approaches to understanding religion, knowledge of many provisions of the Scriptures, theological and religiousphilosophical literature, communication with clerics and believers that allow to explain the vision of the essence of this phenomenon. So, a man, who associates oneself with religion, changes not only ideological orientations, but also is renewed spiritually, rebuilt psychologically (sensually), deliberately chooses a verbally prescribed, and often ascetic way of life. The righteous, just and true thoughts and actions become an indisputable rule for true believers.  The author states that religion is a special sphere of the spiritual life of the individual and society, a social phenomenon characterized by a deeply conscious highspiritual mission, psychological mood and the corresponding practical actions of the individual or the human community associated with their attitude to the transcendental and the supernatural. And as a result, it is necessary to remember that the essence of the knowledge of religion is to consider it from different worldview positions in the light of social life and consciousness of the individual in the context of social space and time.
