The author offers the first detailed biobibliographic description dedicated to Klymentiy Hankevich (1842–1925), a little-known Ukrainian researcher of the history of philosophy among the Slavs. Based on Hankevich's little-known text, his manuscripts, and publications about him, the individual stages of his academic life and the chronology of his research on the history of Slavic philosophy have been reconstructed. Hankevych’s explorations were the first attempts to understand the place of the philosophy of the Slavic peoples in the development of European philosophy. Based on a detailed analysis of Hankiewicz's research intentions and their implementation, as well as on reviews and responses of Polish, Czech, and Russian historians of philosophy of the last quarter of the 19th century, the author concludes that Hankiewicz's works were authoritative for a number of European (primarily Slavic) researchers of the period in question. Hankiewicz was well acquainted with the main trends in 19th-century philosophy among Poles, Czechs, and other Slavic peoples, and his research was based on solid factual material. His research was based on factual material. This assessment of Hankevich's work contrasts sharply with the corresponding assessments of D. Chyzhevsky and V. Zaikyn.
