Tracking trends in philosophical works by Ukrainian religious thinkers is one of the priorities in modern
religious studies, which is defined as the objective progress of science and socio-cultural needs of the
Ukrainian nation in its self-assertion, religious and spiritual identity. The research is conducted on the basis
of works of representatives of the mystical ascetic religious and philosophical thought in Ukraine of the XVI –
XVII centuries (Joann Vyshensky, old man Artemiy, Jov Pochaevsky, Cleric Ostrozhsky, Isaia Kopynsky). In
order to clarify conceptual approaches to understanding problems of sufferability in the works of these
thinkers, hermeneutic and analytical methods are applied that allow to find appropriate semantic
connotations and reflect the problem of sufferability in its relationship with the mystical and ascetic activities.
Conceptual approaches of understanding the problem of sufferability are closely revealed in the way, the
essence of which is the fight against passions and patience in various manifestations of sufferability (sorrow,
suffering, anguish), which are thought as the means of salvation, and the ideas of God inheritance, deification
and adoration. The dialectical unity between essential and existential tendencies on the explication of
sufferability problems in the religious and philosophical discourse of mentioned Ukrainian thinkers is
discovered. The essential dimension of sufferability of Ukrainian scribes' reasoning appears consistent with
their beliefs about achieving the high spiritual purpose of the mystical and ascetic activity that involves
fighting with passion and the transformation of the manifestations of sufferability into the Christian virtue.
The existential dimension is revealed according to the way of understanding the spiritual life of the ascetic as
the actual adoration, deification, following Christ, in its continuity
