Abstract

Nature-philosophical issues of M.V. Lomonosov’s spiritual odes are related to the works of the fathers of the Eastern Christian Church. The poet asserts the principle of anthropology of the universe, which turns into the ocentricism. Patristic apologetics defines the idea of infinity and relativity of knowledge in the spiritual odes. The most important part of apologetics is church hymnography. The genre nature of Lomonosov’s Reflections is determined by the traditions of the ancient Christian hymnography.
