Anatoliy Loy
«Filosophy as an Antipode of Vulgarity in the Mental World of a Human
Being»
In his conversation wilh Svitlana Matviyenko, the Kievan philosopher and
head of the Kantian society of Ukraine Anatoliy Loy relates the history of
philosophical education at Kyiv University, elaborates on the nature of the
university tradition and the reasons for its weakness in Ukraine (lack of a
united intellectual space, decline of journals and intellectual discussions,
comfortable disciplinary self-isolation). As to Marxism, Anatoliy Loy proposes
to approach it carefully, as the latter contains within itself different modes
of philosophizing.
