Abstract

The article shows that in modern socio-political discourse the concept of spiritual commonality is usually associated with the Act of Unification of 1919, i.e. voluntary unification, “union” of the UPR and WUPR, which resulted in a single conciliar UPR. At first glance, such a merger seems obvious and may not provoke any discussion, but it does not. After all, according to dictionary data, in the XIX-XX centuries, the term “spiritual commonality” was used to denote “unity” and “indivisibility”, which were and remain superfluous characteristics of unitary states and ethnic nations. Moreover, using the concept of “spiritual commonality”, meaning “indivisibility” or “unification”, which is realized through the introduction of a common paradigm of existence and development, we thus emphasize the consciously constructed nature of socio-political and ethno-cultural unity and open the way to various political speculations. As shown in the paper, it is possible to get rid of the latter only if spiritual commonality is explicated as a concept aimed at emphasizing voluntary unity; in its process the worldview and value priorities being established and life guidelines being produced, which are recognized by all members of the community.
