The philosophy of v. lisovoy in the context of discussions around the “kyiv world-view and philosophical school”

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the Ukrainian realities of the second half of the 20th century, which are important for the revival of the collective memory of Ukrainians through the prism of the life path and the philosophical views of V. Lisovoy. The main attention is focused on the idea conceptualized in the writings of V. Tabachkovsky about the birth and development in the 60s and 80s of the 20th centuries in Kyiv of an original intellectual center – the “Kyiv worldview and anthropological school”. This pretentious, according to V. Lisovoy, definition caused a lively discussion on the pages of the “Krytika” magazine, to which V. Lisovoy also joined. As a direct witness of the events of the times of “stagnation” and the European intellectual level the philosopher, in contrast to a number of his contemporaries, V. Lisovoy made an attempt to consider the Ukrainian philosophy of the 60s-80s of the 20th century in the context of the methodological assets of the Western intellectual thought of that time. This approach allowed the Ukrainian scientist to refute the belief formed in the 90s of the 20th centuries about the existence and active development of the “Kiev school of worldview and philosophy” in the second half of the 20th century, thereby laying the foundations for rethinking the intellectual heritage of that time. This type of intelligence makes it possible to clarify, and in some cases to construct a clear idea of a certain community about itself, its culture, and with it its place and mission in the world, thereby uniting communities around the achievement of a certain goal.
