Hryhorii Skovoroda was a most unique and unparalleled national thinker and teacher, whose works are among Ukraine’s most important spiritual treasures.
Almost three centuries ago, Skovoroda put forward a development path for the Ukrainian nation, outlining the most prominent features of its mentality – three-sun unity, work that one does naturally, and the philosophy of a wise heart.
Every generation of Ukrainian intellectuals turns to Skovoroda’s ideas, rediscovering their meaning.
The world views of the legendary thinker remain relevant, as happiness, self-knowledge, and self-improvement have not lost their importance in the modern world.
