Volodymyr Volkovskyi
CV
He focuses on modern Ukrainian and Eastern European intellectual and cultural history, in particular the history of Ukrainian philosophy of the 19th - 20th centuries. Part of his research interests are social and political philosophy, in particular the application of Nationalism Studies and Postcolonial Studies to the Eastern European and post-Soviet space. His first book was on political-philosophical thought in 19th-century Ukraine (2017), and his latest book, which is currently being prepared for publication, will be on Ukrainian Exceptionalism. For a long time, he has been studying the Russian political-philosophical tradition, as well as the doctrine of the ‘Russian world’ in the context of the current war. In addition, he is focusing on the intellectual history of Ukrainian emigration in interwar Czechoslovakia (political and philosophical ideas of the professors of the Ukrainian Free University in Prague in 1921–1945).
