Polski kontekst historiifi lozofi i ukraińskiej: problemy i perspektywy

Abstract

The article analyses problems in the historiography of Ukrainian philosophy that emerge when research objects are institutions, currents of thought and persons, already included into the canon of Ukrainian philosophy. Their objective investigation, however, is impossible if the Polish context is not considered. This context is formed by the common sphere of Polish and Ukrainian histories. It includes fi gures and institutions important for both nations, such as Stanisław Orzechowski, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and the Lviv-Warsaw School. The author believes that research into the Polish context of the history of Ukrainian philosophy requires a revision of the inherited views on Ukrainian identity. The proposed concept can reject the view that the national philosophical tradition is a self-suffi cient and original product of the national culture.
