The “Intellectual Capital” Charitable Foundation supported the implementation of the research project “Ukraine in the Philosophical Dimension”, aimed at providing a philosophical understanding of the Ukrainian cultural experience within the framework of a phenomenological approach.
In this study, Ukraine is considered as an autonomous cultural world with its own internal patterns that require deep understanding both in the national and international contexts. Special attention is given to the philosophical dialogue with the European tradition of thought, since the comprehension of Ukrainian identity is impossible without reflection on the philosophical idea of Europe.
One of the key directions of the project is philosophical European integration — through the involvement of leading foreign scholars in reflecting on the theme of “Ukraine” within the global intellectual space.
The project’s advisory group includes:
– Georg Stenger — Professor of Philosophy in a Global World at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna; Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy and Education at the University of Vienna; President of the Society for Intercultural Philosophy (Cologne, Germany).
– Professor Freizopi — Faculty of Philosophy, University of Freiburg (Germany).
– Other international philosophers who will be engaged as consultants.
The project also envisions the translation into Ukrainian of Georg Stenger’s fundamental work “Philosophie der Interkulturalität: Phänomenologie der interkulturellen Erfahrung” (2nd edition, 2020).
Translator: Serhii Mykhailovych Forkosh, Doctor of Philosophy, translator, lecturer.
Project duration: 7–8 months.
The Foundation’s support is a contribution to the development of philosophical thought in Ukraine and the creation of a foundation for integrating Ukrainian culture into the global intellectual discourse.
