The article is aimed to prove that the most innovative ideas of social philosophy historically first appear in literature, in the half-conscious artistic form, before they become assimilated and clarified by scholarly discourse. The proposed case to illustrate this statement is the subject of “anti-history” with which Ukrainian writings had been preoccu pied in the most critical period of Ukraine’s colonial history within the Russian empire — the 1800s—1840s. The predominant intellectual consensus of the time was that Ukraine had been politically “dead” (a “non-historical nation”, according to Hegel), and it is in this cultural context that the author scrutinizes the key necrophiliac images in Nikolai Gogol’s works (the “dead beauty”, the vindictive dead, etc.). Gogol’s inner conflict is thus revealed as occurring between his subaltern’s emotional self, on one side, and his social persona, on the other side, rather than between his Ukrainian and Russian nationalism, as claimed by many contemporary scholars. The article traces also how Gogol’s version of Ukraine’s “anti-history”, after having been reversed in political writings by “brothers of Saints Cyril and Methodius”, has affected the subsequent development of Ukrainian cultural nationalism.

An important event in intellectual life of Ukraine was the awarding of firs laureates of just founded Prizes in philosophy. The ceremony was confined to Philosophic readings Philosophy and Society: the Past and the Present, dedicated to the 90th birthday of Marina Zlotina — one of the founders of the Kyiv School of Philosophy. Such arrangements sho uld favour the development of civil society in Ukraine. Philosophy has to take a deserved place in the Ukrainian society that is impossible without realizing its achievements in the history of home science and comprehension of creative legacy of Ukrainian philosophers. Philosophy cannot be withdrawn in its professional framework and has to become a subject of public discourse, a theme for broad discussion in intellectual ranges of our society. These are the arguments of the Editorial Board of the journal “Filosofs’ka dum ka”, when they invited Ukrainian intellectuals to discuss the importance of founding the prizes in philosophy in the context of condition of intellectual tradition in Ukraine.
