Moral-Ethical Terminology in Ukrainian Philosophical Thought

 

Abstract

The submitted study is an attempt to consider the notion of GRATITUDE in the light of the philosophical conception of H. Skovoroda, a significant figure of our culture, just today, when Ukrainian ethnos is fighting for existence, and the problem of GRATITUDE becomes even more relevant.

The phenomenon of GRATITUDE is described in the scientific and cultural space as a peculiar means and opportunity for a particular person to change life qualitatively, feel the value of themselves and others.

The 300th anniversary of Hryhoriy Skovoroda birthday is celebrated this year. The value of GRATITUDE for him is undeniable. A person who is satisfied with what he has is happy. The thoughts and views of the Great Ukrainian are important and necessary nowadays, because we are talking about eternal, imperishable values running up to centuries and actualize the sacred meanings in the minds of modern man.

A modern view on the concept of GRATITUDE, which has appeared in the Ukrainian cultural space, namely the understanding of GRATITUDE as a memory that works is submitted in the article.
