Abstract

The article examines whether Klymentiy Hankevych can be considered a representative of Ukrainian philosophy. In the beginning, I define the criteria for a philosopher’s belonging to national philosophy by analyzing the concepts of Gaukroger-Peden, Sorley, and Hösle. Despite some differences between these authors, I argue that they all recognized such criteria as: (1) language, (2) institutionality, (3) intellectual continuity. Analyzing the lexicon of some of the Hankevych’s publications and his activities as a university lecturer, I conclude that he fully meets the three aforementioned criteria. Based on it, I argue that Hankevich’s philosophical legacy undoubtedly belongs to the Ukrainian philosophical tradition.
