Онтологічні засади леґітимації

Семінар часопису «Філософська думка» і кафедри філософії філософського факультету КНУ ім. Тараса Шевченка

Legitimacy is the prevailing theme of social disciplines. There is a large array of European literature about the philosophical meaning of legitimation and legitimacy (G. Hegel, M. Weber, H. Arendt, M. Heidegger, J. Habermas et al.). Modern philosophy, sociology and politology combine both theoretical and practical approaches to the legitimation phenomenon. In such a context, legitimacy as a typical problem of practical philosophy does need ontological understanding. Hence, the Seminar of the «Filosofska Dumka» and the Departments of Philosophy of the Philosophical faculty at the Kiev national university named after Taras Shevchenko was devoted preminently to ontological principles of the legitimation. Ontological essence of this subject-matter obviously display the application-oriented effect. Analyzing this concept, one needs to consider it critically with a view to our Ukrainian political practice. At the same time, we have to initiate the discourse about the universal values of democracy and always special embodiment in the diverse cultural worlds
