and the emergence of world religions. Moreover, in the formation of the Christian
concept Drahomanov sees a significant role of cosmopolitan ideas, which from the
Greeks went to the Romans. The next step in establishing the "world truth"is the
emergence of the desire to stop the animosity between the churches. "Behold,

wiser and kind people, according to various faiths, think that it is not necessary to
touch upon others for different church practices and thoughts, but that all humanity
and all people of all people should be placed over all churches”.

M. Drahomanov also drew attention to the fact that a clear chronological
order of the presentation of history creates an impression of the existence of such a
causal relationship and the internal coherence of events, which are often distorted

by the true existence of cultures and peoples, since those that do not fit into a
coherent theoretical picture of history, in fact, are excluded from this "world"
history.

Today, students should definitely listen to M. Drahomanov's remark, "I will
allow myself to say that from the time I began to serve as a public service teacher
or writer, I did not miss the adventures of talking to younger people in Ukraine that
they can not respect even educated, until they learn, at least two or three Western

European languages, to read at least the most important things in them. I repeatedly
spoken orally and in writing that Ukrainian writing would not receive world-wide

educated thoughts and feelings simply from Western Europe, not through St.
Petersburg and Moscow, through Russian writing ..."
Particular attention was paid to the culturological issues of one of the most
notable Ukrainian thinkers of the second half of the XIXth – early XXth centuries.

Volodymyr Lysevich (1837-1905). Among his main works, devoted directly to the
development of culture, the works should include, in particular, the essays "Essays
on the Development of the Idea of Progress" and "Philosophy of History on a

Scientific Basis" (Essay on the history of culture of the XIXth century). Occupying
a positivist ideological and scientific position, V. Lesevich understood the
philosophy of history as "made in science of awareness of the laws of life and

development of mankind." Only the scientific world view, according to V.
Lesevich, can bring humanity to its highest goal – association. First of all, it relates
to science and cultural and historical progress, "The progress of industry, art,

morality and politics is significantly determined by the level of development of
mental activity and the nature of its direction ... The order of human development
in all respects was the result of the development of mental activity, that is, the
result of consistent religious and scientific revolution".
