LECTURE-DISCUSSION WITH JOSEPH ZISELS
War and civilisational identity
Ukraine is undergoing a process of modernisation at the intersection of civilisational identities in the context of an inter-civilisational war. Identity is evolving every day, and our future depends on how quickly our people form a European collective identity, including historical memory and worldview. This lecture-discussion is aimed at enabling everyone to understand the issue of civilisational discourse for themselves.
WE CAN DEVELOP IN THE CIVILISATIONAL DIMENSION EVOLUTIONARILY WITH THE HELP, FIRST OF ALL, OF OUR CIVIL SOCIETY AND ALL THOSE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE PROCESSES OF STATE-BUILDING AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
