Abstract

The concept of faith is defined as a universal path to the spiritual knowledge born in the "Axial Age" (K. Jaspers) as a way of understanding the transcendent origins underlying all the world religions and associated philosophies. The author of the article asserts the significance of faith from the philosophical, epistemological and social perspectives, analyzes the relation of faith and knowledge, and determines the dependence of the said relation from the ontological attitude (pantheism, transcendentalism, etc.).
