The latter approach allows to integrate knowledge of different layers and the methodology aiming at obtaining the most precise findings. The results of the given research shows the almost full match of the two levels consciousness representing the attitude of Russian culture-bearers to the moral value ‘’faith’’. That indicates the stable position of the value considered in the perception of the Russians. The methods of the analysis has a great potential for further research of different notions. |
