metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the problem of comparing the basic premises of the philosophy
  of postmodernism and religious worldview, in particular, the Christian doctrine.
  The heuristic potential of the concept of “kenosis” is revealed in the works
  of the Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo as applied to the interpretation of the
  history of philosophy simultaneously in the context of Christian doctrine and philosophy
  of postmodernism. In the context of the Christian doctrine, kenosis means
  “exhaustion” of God as His voluntary descent into the world through incarnation
  and death on the cross for the salvation of people. This is a specifically Christian
  thesis closely related to the unique tenets of Christian theology, anthropology, and
  soteriology. Vattimo considers it possible to use the concept of kenosis as a basis for
  understanding the relationship between Christianity and postmodernity, since it is
  in the perspective of Divine “exhaustion” that the true nature of the evangelism is
  revealed, which cannot be reduced to an ontotheological metanarrative. The article
  also proposes the concept of a historical interpretation of the Gospel in the works of
  the modern British biblical scholar Nicholas Thomas Wright as one of the possible
  strategies for explicating the “intersection points” between postmodern philosophy
  and Christian theology. It is concluded that the assertion about the antagonism and
  incompatibility of postmodernism and Christianity is superficial and this issue requires
  a more careful and comprehensive study.
