Abstract
The article examines the essence and the key features of the Ukrainian Baroque culture. It also characterizes the qualities that are distinctive of the formation of philosophy as a component of the general culture of Ukraine during the period under consideration.
The ideas of the professors of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy taken as an example help the author reveal the content of the Baroque thinking in general. Defining the spiritual life of the Ukrainian people during this period, this thinking revolved around the problems of language, the relationship between language and thinking; that said, language was viewed as an artificial semiotic system used by people for communication.
The author concluded that, among the main characteristic features of the period of the Ukrainian Baroque, the modification and modernization of the traditional methodology were most common. At the same time, new paradigmatic principles, which proclaimed the priority of nature in the study of the human being and cognition, were becoming more and more significant. The frame of the Baroque worldview, however, required that the issues of the theory of cognition and logics be viewed as ancillary to the comprehension of the human nature, his/her place in the infinite macrocosm.
Key words: culture, Ukrainian Baroque, philosophy, Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, man and God, man and nature.
