Pecularities of History Interpretation in the Classical Ukrainian Philosophical and Educational Thought

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the interpretation of history by the Ukrainian philosophical and educational thought of the 17–19-th century, taking into consideration the tendencies of the classical paradigm of the European culture. The author considers that Ukrainian philosophical and educational thought of the Modern ages did not differ from the Western-European approaches though had its own peculiarities. In author's opinion, the interpretation of history in Ukraine of the Classical period lied in a registration of the
chaotic and messy processes and events, when Western-European thought was paying much attention to the mechanic and progressive and also cyclic approaches.
