Oleksandr Kulczycki's Philosophy and the Lviv-Warsaw School

Summary/Abstract: The Lviv-Warsaw School should be treated, due to the research made by Stepan Ivanyk, the Ukrainian philosopher, as a multicultural intellectual formation with its Ukrainian branch as an integral part. In particular, Stepan Ivanyk has proven that Oleksandr Kulczycki, the Ukrainian philosopher was Kazimierz Twardowski’s student. To prove the substantial relation between Kulczycki and the Lviv-Warsaw School, Ivanyk has chosen “The Soul of Race as a Totem and the Term” by Kulczycki as the basis because it met the time, genetic, and theoretical criteria. However, Kulczycki continued his scientific work after the end of the Lviv- Warsaw School functioning (according to Jan Wolenski). Since 1940, his teaching, research and public activities were closely connected with the Ukrainian Free University in Munich. Therefore, it is important to continue the research started by Ivanyk, as it will deepen the understanding of Kulczycki’s philosophy and his relation to the Lviv-Warsaw School.
