Abstract

У статті проаналізовано цінність історико-філософської спадщини І. Мірчука в контексті академічно-педагогічного напрямку діяльності мислителя. Показано, що ключовим вектором усієї творчості філософа була турбота за долю України та визволення її зі стану національно-культурного поневолення з одного боку, а з іншого -намагання представити Україну як рівноправну європейську державу. Доведено, що реалізація академічно-педагогічної у поєднанні із організаційно-популяризаторською діяльністю І. Мірчука була одним із провідних аспектів філософських устремлінь науковця.

Boiko-Blokhin, B.Kurilas, E.Smalko, P.Savchuk, O.Voropay and Ch.Sobolevsky were habilitated.
