Dojchyk M. Ethic-anthropological ideas of Ukrainian Renaissance humanism (the end of the XVIth. - one third of the XVIIth. centuries).

The thesis is devoted to the research into the problems of good and evil, life and death, self-cognition, human freedom and happiness, that reflected the ethic-anthropological views of Ukrainian humanists of the end of theXVIth - the beginning of the XVIIth centuries. On the basis of the thorough analysis of works of Ukrainian Renaissance philosophers, that contained their ethic-anthropological views, the general humanistic studies about the human being, as the unity of spiritual and physical essences, created to reveal the god in herself, has been reconstructed. The thesis deals with the humanistic approach to two fundamental human entities - unnatural sinful existence in evil and natural virtuous being in harmony. The peculiarities of traditionalistic and progressive understanding of these problems in Ukrainian Renaissance humanism have been defined. The functional link between the Ukrainian humanists' ethic-anthropological views and theological, ontological, and gnosyological ideas of the Renaissance philosophical outlook has been also established in the thesis.
