Abstract

The article attempts to carry out the philosophical reflection of anthropological theological perspective, placing the question of correlation of religious categories on a fundamentally different level, which exceeds the scope of the religious content. The notions of temptation, seduction and charm are compared. The designated categories are considered as the graduation of the same state, taken in development stages: from ethical neutrality, emotional non-involvement, expressed in the category of “temptation” through the emotional preparedness to respond to external stimuli, which is a test of the moral qualities of the person (“seduction”) to willingness to substitute the essence of good – sin (“charm”)
