Overview
Philosophical Thought (Ukrainian: Filosofska Dumka) is a Ukrainian scholarly journal of philosophy published in Kyiv since 1969. It is founded and issued by the Hryhorii Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, making it one of the country's principal institutional philosophy periodicals. The journal appears once every two months and covers a broad range of philosophical fields, including theoretical philosophy, ontology and epistemology, logic, methodology and philosophy of science, social philosophy and philosophy of history, philosophical anthropology and philosophy of culture, ethics and moral philosophy, aesthetics, cultural studies, classical primary sources, the history of world and Ukrainian philosophy, contemporary world philosophy, contemporary humanities, political philosophy, and the philosophy of law, economics, education, language, religion, and ecology, as well as philosophical problems of natural science. The journal traces its lineage to earlier Soviet-era Ukrainian philosophical periodicals: Prapor Marksyzmu (1927–1930), Prapor Marksyzmu-Leninizmu (1931–1933), and Pid Markso-Leninskym Praporom (1934–1936). Since its establishment in 1969, it has served as a platform for theoretical and historical philosophical scholarship in Ukraine. Its long-serving editors include V. I. Shynkaruk (1969–1971 and again from 1979) and V. I. Kutsenko (1971–1976), while M. V. Popovych led the journal until 2018. As an academic title rather than a commercial consumer brand, Philosophical Thought functions as a scholarly publishing brand within Ukraine's national research system. Its editorial output is aimed at researchers, university faculty, and students in philosophy and the humanities. The journal is associated with the Institute of Philosophy's publishing program and is accessible through its official website.
