Kyrychok O. Writing of Kyiv Rus as a Political Phenomenon (Historical and Philosophical Analysis)

The dissertation proposes a new approach to the study of the writing of Kyiv Rus, which is considered as a political phenomenon with own of political functions.The proposed vision of the Kyiv Russ writing as a political phenomenon made it possible to study the whole complex of original written original sources from the middle of the XIth to the middle of the XIVth century, created between the first and second South Slavic influences. This approach goes beyond traditional domination in the history of philosophy of studying the political content of the writing of Kyiv Rus and offers a new methodology. It is based on the understanding of writing as a political phenomenon that has the character of a political representation, and includes in its structure the unity of external essential features of the phenomenon with its content. Thus, the dissertation covered three main aspects of the phenomenon of the Kyiv Rus writing: political properties (attributes), forms of political representation and political content.
