Historian of Philosophy – Father Mycola Conrad: notes to an intellectual biography
Journal Title: Мultiversum. Philosophical almanac - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Mykola Conrad (1876–1941) is a Father Professor, Doctor of Theology and Philosophy, Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Theological Academy in Lviv, Ukrainian thinker and historian of philosophy. However, his intellectual biography has not yet been studied in detail. His interest in the history of modern and Ukrainian philosophy is still unknown. The article attempts to reconstruct the interests of the father in these branches of the history of philosophy on the basis of his reviews. The reviewed reviews by Father Mykola Conrad point to his interest in the newest history of philosophy, primarily the development of neo-Thomism. This is evidenced by the reviewed works and their authors, whose scientific work contributed to the restoration of Thomism (A.Shtekel, K.Kovalsky, etc.) and Konrad's own arguments about the content of the criticized works. From the standpoint of neo-Thomism, he agrees with the critique of Hegel's philosophy, since he saw in it the source of Marxism and Communism. His philosophy, as well as the German philosophy of the modern period, is one of the scientific interests of M. Conrad. At the same time, Father paid special attention to the development of the modern history of Polish philosophy, especially neosholastics. He was interested in the history of Ukraine's philosophy, in particular the work of G. Skovoroda. And also in the works of Ukrainian contemporary philosophers (D.Chyzhevsky, I.Mirchuk). As a scientist and teacher, he saw the need to study it and emphasized this in one of the reviews. This circumstance, as well as the absence of a separate course in the history of the philosophy of Ukraine in the Lviv Theological Academy, suggests that Father М. Conrad taught the history of Ukrainian philosophy in the course of modern philosophy.
