Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyse and synthesise the ethical views of the Kyiv-Mohyla scholars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in order to create a holistic view of ethics as a practical science through the study of such phenomena-terms as "behaviour", "human action", "rules of conduct", "customs", "skills", "good", "happiness", "justice", and "passions". The author identifies the general specificity of the ethical views that dominated the philosophical courses of the professors of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy; analyses the ethical reflections of Heorhii Konyskyi; demarcates between the types of good, justice and happiness; and explores the essence of the psychological state of a person acting under the influence of passions.
