The paper presents a new interpretation of Skovoroda’s philosophy as a special kind of Christian Platonism. Christian Platonism of Skovoroda is the result of the meeting of “natural Platonism” of philosopher’s personal outlook with theoretical and methodological findings of Platonists and Neoplatonists from amongst of thinkers of Greek patristics (Origen, St. Maximus the Confessor). Main features are conditioned by his personal feeling of the ideal in reality and reflection over intuitive disposition to the ideal in the will.
