The article reveals the philosophical aspects of the physical and economic teachings of the Ukrainian thinker and scientist, public figure Mykola Rudenko (1920-2004), whose focus is the problem of harmonizing the personal, social and natural aspects of human life and its associations. The categories of cosmic, universal and spiritual energy are the starting points for understanding the model of the Ukrainian thinker, which is inextricably linked with national religious and philosophical ideas and approaches. M. Rudenko interprets personality as the unity of conscious individuality, acting as a subject of responsibility and the inner world of a person. The Ukrainian thinker affirms the ideas of the primacy of the spiritual over the material, overcoming the crisis of the spirit as the most terrible crisis of man and humanity, preventing the domination of the technosphere over the noosphere, the nature of human work derived from the energy of the cosmos. The brain, whose property is intelligence, is interpreted by the thinker as endowed with experience only of the earthly sphere. M. Rudenko’s picture of nature is presented as a unity of the macrocosm and the microcosm, which form a continuous fabric. The progenitor of life on Earth is the plant itself, which is directly shaped by the Sun. The creative power of the Sun is outlined by M. Rudenko as a living reality of the cosmos. According to M. Rudenko, the theory of surplus value and the theory of the biosphere as a transformer of solar energy actually merge into a single theory of Life. It is necessary to consider these theories in relation to each other, i.e. at the substantive level. M. Rudenko reveals additional value as the energy of progress, which is the creative process of the Sun and the Universe, its radiant substance, which is called God in all religions. The economic model of society is inextricably linked in M. Rudenko’s physicoeconomic theory with his theory of World Structure.
