Keywords: spiritual evolution, religious art, religious worldview systems of the end of the first millennium BC — beginning of AD, the antinomic nature of God.
Abstract. The article aims to trace the antinomic comprehension of God in unity of spiritual transcendent and material immanent principles in the major religious systems of the second half of 1st millennium BC — the beginning of a new era and the reflection of this process in the art of that time based on analyzing religious texts, theological and philosophical treatises of the main monotheistic and polytheistic religious worldview ideas and ways of their embodiment.
The study showed that the universal idea of religious systems (Taoism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity) of the indicated period is the idea of embodying the highest spiritual Absolut into a natural anthropomorphic form. In most leading religions of the time (except for Judaism) this interpretation of God became the basis for the development of
religious art.
For the first time, a comparison of concepts of God in the leading religious-hilosophical systems of the researched period was made. Such an interpretation of the deity has been shown to be manifested in religious art, which confirms its worldview subordination. It was hypothesized that the antinomic comprehension of God in the unity of transcendent and immanent principles in the leading religious systems formed at the turn of the millennia determined that the dominant zodiacal Pisces constellation, in which the Sun was rising on the day of the spring equinox, was characterized as a sign of the unity of antinomies.
This article may be used for further research, for the courses of lectures in the history of world culture.
