Філософсько-українознавчі концепти в історичному та сучасному вимірах

Abstract

This philosophical and Ukrainian studies research delves into the universal value- meaning dimension of national identity, intricately connected to the spiritual and intellectual aspects, literature studies, historical and social contexts, cultural elements, and the ecological discourse that has been inherent in the Ukrainian worldview since the time of Trypillia. This study emphasizes the fact that the aforementioned value-meaning universals and concepts are aptly reflected within the unique semiosphere of the Ukrainian world, constituting a substantial and noteworthy component of world civilization. In the specified axiological context, this research reexamines the thoughts and enduring principles of various thinkers whose contemplations encompassed the phenomenon of Ukrainian identity. Notably, figures such as Mykola Gogol, a historian and statesman who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs during the Hetmanate era; Ukrainian scholar D. Doroshenko; philosopher, public figure, philanthropist, and author of seminal works in agricultural sciences, as well as the founder of the first Ukrainian newspaper “Rada” in the Russian Empire, Yevhen Chykalenko; artists and thinkers of the 19th and early 20th centuries including Ivan Franko and Lesia Ukrainka; and the contemporary luminary, Lina Kostenko, often regarded as a “poet for the ages.” Furthermore, this research acknowledges the vital contributions of linguist and historian of language, D.S. Likhachov.
