philosophy of the Ukrainian emigration, Hegel, political repressions, archive studies, methods of the history of philosophyAbstract
Based on archival documents and rare publications, the author reconstructs in detail for the first time the reception of Dmytro Chyzhevskyi in the academic philosophy of the Ukrainian SSR. The aforementioned reception took place in two directions: 1) a view of Chyzhevskyi in the context of the polemics of Ukrainian Soviet philosophers with contemporary European Hegelianism and neo-Hegelianism; 2) an analysis of Chyzhevsky’s historical and philosophical concept. The author argues that this reception is a) evidence of the mutual influence of the diasporic and Soviet traditions of Ukrainian philosophy of the 20th century, which cannot be ignored; b) an important “micro-mirror” of the consideration of the academic philosophy of the Ukrainian SSR itself, which reflects the key discussions inherent in it.
