The article raises the topic of the specifics of the process of institutionalization of scientific achievements of the H. S. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the NAS of Ukraine, especially the ones of the «Kyiv School of Philosophy» of the second half of the XX century and early XXI century, in the contemporary educational practices of Ukrainian universities on the example of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The celebration in 2021 of the 75th anniversary of the institute, which, together with the university, became the main centre of the Kyiv School of Philosophy, once again highlights the latter's role as a leading subject of institutionalization of the Ukrainian national philosophical tradition of late modern times. One of the most famous innovative academic, humanitarian projects and the first prototypes of an open society in the Ukrainian SSR, this institute was a major domestic participant in world philosophical life during the Cold War and became a centre of growth of the philosophical community in the independent Ukraine. An illustrative example of the introduction of new educational practices in classical universities of Ukraine in the context of digitalization of domestic higher education during the emergence of a global network society is an activity of philosophical societies and startups of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and the H. S. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the NAS of Ukraine. It unites their common high scientific and educational potential. The Student Society of Oral History of Philosophy of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is one of the most famous. At the centre of its studies is initiated in T. Chaika’s “The Philosopher’s Oral Histories” project reconstruction of scientific biographies of the Kyiv School of Philosophy creators in the context of developing an oral history of philosophy as an alternative historical and philosophical approach/source/genre.

The archeographic guide contains a list of meaningful topics that were considered by scholars in research publications of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in the field of philosophy from 1944 to 1961. The guide raises the issue of archeography of the philosophical source and the preconditions of research in the field of history of philosophy. The author’s team of compilers has developed a methodology for reproducing detailed and verified source data of research publications, created a model of presenting the components of the description of the philosophical source and the concluded sequence of such components as the basis of the original historical and philosophical research. The proposed model involves the use of electronic document tools. The guide can be used in the periodical thematic content analysis of the history of philosophy: Hellenistic-Roman, Middle Ages and Renaissance, new (modern) philosophy, Soviet institutional philosophy, modern philosophy. The guide will be helpful for anyone interested in archeography and philosophical source studies.

Abstract In his later thought, Martin Heidegger disclaimed the possibility of a philosophical history of philosophy. In his view, the history of philosophy tends to remain bound to a specißc philosophical orientation and offer merely a philosophical position, not philosophy itself, presenting at best nothing more than an assemblage of doctrinal positions. In contrast, Heidegger developed in his early Freiburg lectures of 1919-1923 an historical-phenomenological program of philosophical history directed against the historical school of Dilthey, whose objekthi-storisch perspective he meant to replace with his own vollzugshistorisch method. For Heidegger, there is no perfected subject at the basis of historical investigation, but rather it is the temporality of the observer which makes possible historical knowledge in the ßrst place. Heidegger's later abandonment of this notion is a significant reason for the lack of a philosophical approach to writing the history of philosophy after 1945 in Germany.

How might we locate originality as emerging from within the “discrete” work of commentary? Because many women have engaged with philosophy informs (including commentary) that preclude their work from being seen as properly “original,” this question is a feminist issue. Via the work of selected contemporary French women philosophers, the author shows how commentary can reconfigure the philosophical tradition in innovative ways, as well as in ways that change what counts as philosophical innovation.

<p class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-CA">Although feminist philosophers have been critical of the gendered norms contained within the history of philosophy, they have not extended this critical analysis to norms concerning disability. In the history of Western philosophy, disability has often functioned as a metaphor for something that has gone awry. This trope, according to which disability is something that has gone wrong, is amply criticized within Disability Studies, though not within the tradition of philosophy itself or even within feminist philosophy. In this paper, I use one instance of this disability metaphor, contained within a passage from Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel&rsquo;s <em>Philosophy of Right</em>, in order to show that paying attention to disability and disability theory can enable identification of ableist assumptions within the tradition of philosophy and can also open up new interpretations of canonical texts. On my reading, whereas Hegel&rsquo;s expressed views of disability are dismissive, his logic and its treatment of contingency offer up useful ways to situate and re-evaluate disability as part of the concept of humanity. Disability can in fact be useful to Hegel, especially in the context of his valorization of experiences of disruption and disorientation. Broadening our understanding of the possible ways that the philosophical tradition has conceived human beings allows us to better draw on its theoretical resources.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="NoSpacing">&nbsp;</p><p class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-CA">Keywords: Hegel; contingency; history of philosophy; feminist Hegel scholarship</span></p><p class="NoSpacing"><span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></p>

Despite the fact that there are more and more contemporary academic publications on the subject of oral history understood as an element of research technique, as a separate research technique or as a specific theoretical and methodological approach, rarely do we see thorough analyses of educational potential of oral history projects realized by various institutions all over Poland. In the available publications and websites one can find information and instruction material that can serve as a starting point for the delivery of documentation projects, however, there are still few educational proposals that go beyond recording, editing and archiving of accounts. Although possibilities of using oral history in broadly understood educational field are noticed, few researches try to include this subject into broader context of contemporary pedagogical theories, concepts developed on the basis of cultural animation or discussions concerning activities for commemorating the past.  In the presented article matters relating to education and pedagogical potential of social projects using oral history technique, are analyzed in three overlapping areas, including: shaping of competences at an individual level (by people taking part in an oral history project), creation – at an institutional level – of the educational offer targeted at local communities as well as artistic projects realized by individuals and institutions with the use of oral history narrations. In the next part of the article those questions are analyzed in the context of experience with self-government cultural institution – ‘Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre’ Centre in Lublin realizing a documentation and animation project ‘Oral History of the City’, which was delivered with the perspective of broadly understood community education and it was targeted at supporting processes of reading and (re-)interpreting multicultural past of the city.

We ignore the history of philosophy at our peril. Engels, who typically conflates Marx and Marxism, points to the relation of Marxism to the tradition while also denying it. In his little book on Feuerbach, Engels depicts Feuerbach as leading Marx away from Hegel, away from classical German philosophy, away from philosophy and towards materialism and science. This view suggests that Marx is at best negatively related to Classical German philosophy, including Hegel. Yet Engels elsewhere suggests that Marx belongs to the classical German philosophical tradition. In the preface to Socialism, Utopian and Scientific, Engels wrote: “We German socialists are proud that we trace our descent not only from Saint Simon, Fourier and Owen, but also from Kant, Fichte and Hegel” (Marx & Engels, Collected Works). In this paper I will focus on Marx’s relation to Fichte. This relation is rarely mentioned in the Marxist debate, but I will argue, it is crucial for the formulation of Marx’s position, and hence for assessing his contribution accurately. One of the results of this study will be to indicate that Marx, in reacting against Hegel, did not, as is often suggested, ‘leave’ philosophy, but in fact made a crucial philosophical contribution.

In recent years the so-called Ritter School has received increasing attention in debates on the history of philosophy and political ideas in postwar Germany. Indeed, some of the country’s most important scholars and public intellectuals emerged from the circle around the philosopher Joachim Ritter in Münster, including philosophers such as Hermann Lübbe, Odo Marquard and Robert Spaemann, lawyers such as Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde and Martin Kriele, theologian Trutz Rendtorff, historian Rudolf Vierhaus, and art historian Max Imdahl. Many of Ritter’s disciples later held professorships at German universities and helped shape the academic landscape of the Federal Republic. Some of them also worked as publicists and consultants, held public office, served on university policy committees or in the legal and ecclesiastical systems and thus had a far-reaching influence on Germany’s public life and political culture. On closer inspection, however, classifying Ritter and his disciples as a philosophical school appears extremely questionable. Members of the presumed school itself as well as contemporary researchers question the label and prefer to regard the circle as a “forum for open thinking.” The article takes a closer look at the Ritter School and investigates to what extent the personal, theoretical and institutional connections between Joachim Ritter and his disciples can be adequately understood as a philosophical school. The author first provides an overview of the origins and development of the circle as it emerged from Ritter’s Collegium Philosophicum. Ritter’s own philosophical approach is then outlined, and its reception among his disciples is traced. Finally, a more detailed exposition of the principal characteristics of a philosophical school is the basis for a differentiated examination of the customary label “Ritter School” and an assessment of its significance for the philosophical discourse of West Germany.
