Anger as an experience of cultural meanings in the modern religious picture of the world

The growth of aggression in the world community actualizes the study of the phenomenon of anger as one of the reasons for the destruction of modern culture. The causes, forms of manifestation, and perception of anger are determined by the semantic context of culture and are traditionally recorded in the religious picture of the world. Therefore, the object of this study is anger as a reflection of cultural meanings in the modern religious picture of the world. Anger is considered an indicator, a dominant emotional imperative, a concept for experiencing cultural meanings, a way of building a new spirituality, and a modern religious picture of the world. The psychosocial habit of anger as a way of solving worldview problems sets the value of characteristics of being and the vectors of individuality. The essence of anger is revealed through patristic asceticism, the emotional experience of collective rituals, individualism, and spiritualism, through the humanistic orientation of human life and society, and through the functions of anger in postnormal times. As a sinful passion and spiritual illness, anger is eradicated by a holistic change in personality. The methodological foundations of the study were an anthropological approach, psychological and linguistic discourses, and cultural and philosophical reflection. The conclusions contained in the work provide an opportunity to better navigate the emotional lives of people of different cultures for those who carry out professional activities like psychologists, psychotherapists, lecturers, volunteers, and rehabilitation specialists; who accompany parents and children in foster families; who work with orphans, disabled people, and believers.
