Manifested the direction of transformation of anthropological ideas in the theology of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I. Based on the central anthropological paradigm of Orthodoxy, the key idea of which is the deification of man through inner spiritual improvement to the highest
state of love, the Patriarch proposes forming of new type of modern Ortodox person, who achieves the state of love by realizing the organic unity of the God-created universe. The key categories of the new anthropology are issues of unity, dialogue, environmental awareness, peacekeeping, etc.
on the basis of a rational justification for the need to solve the deep problems of our time. Thus, in anthropology there is a turn from the personal path of salvation to "pan-Orthodox", ie the formation of a modern type of Orthodox personality that overcomes its own egocentrism, fundamentalism, etc. through awareness of its organic involvement in the world as a whole, its active life position in solving environmental and social problems,
its openness to another based on love.
