Golovko, Yu. M. Religious and Philosophical Views of John Adams and their Role in Formation of his Political IdeasAbstract: John Adams (1735-1826) is a notable figure of the War of Independence, the second president of the USA and one of the major politicians during the epoch of Enlightenment. His way to philosophical, religious and moral becoming was difficult and full of events. Adam’s early interpretations of God and Bible, human and nature, devotion and virtue cast light on his mature political and philosophical views. When he started to defend colonists’ rights in 1765, Adams proved his principles which he had formed when graduating from Harvard. Going long way from new English pietism to philosophical rationalism of the Enlightenment, John Adams did not only play an important role in determination of nature and peculiarities of the revolution but also became its embodiment and personification. Keywords: philosophy, Adams, Puritanism, deism, Enlightenment, rationalism, freethinking, humanism, civil, responsibility.
