REASONING ABOUT IVAN GERBURT AND HIS “THOUGHTS ABOUT PEOPLE OF RUTHENIA”

Abstract

Along with the description of the historical-political and theoretical material in this article much place is occupied by reflections on Ivan Gerburt’s figure, as well as by the main ideas of his “Thoughts about people of Ruthenia”. Hypothetical bridges between different epochs are built. It reads that with certain reservation I. Gerburt can be considered the forerunner of the concept about the necessity to form Ukrainian political nation developed three centuries later by Ukrainian theorists Julian Bachynsky and Vyacheslav Lypynsky. According to the author, in spite of Gerburt’s regional patriotism and love for Rus- Ukraine, his small homeland, he saw it as an integral part of the federal/confederative Rzecz Pospolita. He belonged to Catholic denomination, but he protected the right of Orthodox and Greek Catholics to freedom of religion, substantiated the principle of non-interference of secular authority in church affairs. Also the research emphasizes I. Gerburt’s contribution to the development of customary law. His figure and his actions are repeatedly projected to the present.
