Post-Totalitarian Philosophizing In Krytyka, No. 3 (77), 2004, pp. 18–19.

Oleg Khoma’s paper focuses on the conceptualization of the phenomenon of Kyiv worldview-anthropological school of the 1960s–1980s and the controversies surrounding its existence. The author demonstrates that the term “school” often functions as an artificially constructed retrospective label, which obscures the complex processes of forming an intellectual environment. Khoma analyzes the Marxist engagement of the philosophers of the period and their roles in establishing a post-totalitarian ethos, revealing that new intellectual practices emerged precisely under conditions of gradual loosening of totalitarian control. The article shows that the Kyiv philosophical circle functioned as an environment for generating ideas, rather than as a conglomerate of identical methodological positions.
