Annotation

The doctrine of the origin and life of man by Archpriest F. A. Golubinsky is set out in his essay “Speculative Psychology.” In this work Father Theodore answers the question about the essence of the human soul, examines the life of the soul, touching on the area of mystical experience. The doctrine of the soul of F. A. Golubinsky is traditionally based on the dogma of the God-likeness of man. This article examines the properties of the human soul, the theory of the origin of the soul and its life in the context of the main goal setting: a person experienced the severity of evil and the goodness of good, became convinced of his powerlessness in the possibility of changing the soul, and through this voluntarily desired union with God. The afterlife of the soul is analyzed in detail. Based on the patristic works, an analysis of F.A. Golubitskiy's thesis about the growth of the soul endlessly in good or evil was carried out.
