HUMANITY AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE SPIRITUAL BEING OF HUMAN

Abstract

The subject of analysis in the article is sensations, which are considered as representatives of the external world in the inner being of a person. Because of this, they are the basis not only of human cognition, as many researchers believe, but of all spiritual existence. Feelings have informational and evaluating functions. The first determines the sphere of knowledge, on which researchers traditionally focus their attention, the second is associated with such a multifaceted quality of a person as humanity, which is realized both in practical and spiritual life. Humanity is often assigned a secondary role, and only in a religious feeling does this property acquire decisive significance.
