Ukrainian Civil Society: From Paternalism to Autonomy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article explores the transformation of Ukrainian civil society under wartime conditions — from a paternalistic model to an autonomous, morally responsible form of self-organization. Particular attention is paid to the emergence of a new political culture based on dignity, resilience, horizontality, and the ethics of creation. The analysis draws on the philosophical ideas of Hryhorii Skovoroda, contemporary civic practices, and analytical data. The article demonstrates how war has become a catalyst for the transition from defense to strategic societal creation.
