Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the principles of organization of P.A. Florensky’s “state of the future” and examines the structure of the future human community, based on the combination of philosophy, theology, and science within the contemporary historical reality. To Florensky, the state under design is a “new aeon”, Plato’s “idea”, which is incapable of reflecting itself, and therefore the role of a philosopher lies in formulating constructive principles of formation of a centralized social system, whereby a hero-ruler will intuitively build the new culture.
