Abstract

The article explores the ethnomental dimensions of the educational process within Eastern Christianity. It examines the historical context of the issue by substantiating the factors influencing the formation of ethnomental characteristics among different nations and highlights the role of education in preserving and transmitting the cultural traditions and values of Eastern Christianity. The study analyzes the perspectives of prominent scholars of religion regarding the role of religious and theological education in contemporary educational practices and the broader cultural landscape of the Ukrainian community. The article emphasizes that, within the framework of Eastern Christianity, the ethnomental aspects of religious cognition are considered through key interrelations: religion and education, religion and knowledge, faith and reason. In the traditions of Eastern Christianity, particularly in Byzantine, Orthodox, Armenian, and other Eastern Churches, education has always been closely linked to religion. The educational process was aimed at integrating knowledge into an individual’s worldview system, orienting them toward the moral and ethical principles of Christianity.A crucial role in this process was played by theological education, which, within the Eastern Christian tradition, focused on an in-depth understanding of the Holy Scriptures and the Sacraments. The study of theology was not limited to mere intellectual analysis; rather, it served as a foundation for shaping confessionally determined life orientations. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the worldview processes unfolding at the intersection of religion, education, and the formation of national identity.
