Abstract
The article highlights the specifics and features of the formation of philosophical and anthropological studies in Soviet Ukraine. The author focuses on the scientific work carried out during the interwar period (1918-1939) and focuses on the work of such Ukrainian thinkers as Mykola Khvylovyi and Volodymyr Yurynets. It`s proved that before to the emergence of the H.Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the restoration of the Faculty of Philosophy of Kyiv State University, the works of Ukrianian philosophers of the 20-30’s focus mainly on the “deological” factor of human being and formation conception “communist person”. Accordingly, Volodymyr Yurynets introduced the concept of “living person”, which opposed the ideologized “class person” as such, which is limited in creativity and intellectual activity. Another thinker — Mykola Khvylovyi introduces in his work the concept of “public man”, which Ukrainian scientist characterizes as an image of a free, European personality. Finnaly, the author examines the relevance of the introduced concepts by the Ukrainian Soviet thinkers in the context of modern transformations in the understanding of the person.
