The Department of Philosophy of Culture began its work in 1984. In the 1990s, the changing social conditions for the existence of philosophical thought with the acquisition of independence led to the abandonment of the Marxist paradigm of theoretical monopoly on determining the principles and direction of humanitarian thinking. This fundamentally removed the issue of overcoming social reductionism and opened the possibility of new priorities for the study of cultural reality and human understanding. Since the mid-1990s, the research program of the department has been constantly transformed: there is a transition from understanding the meaning and categorical forms of cultural reality to the analysis of various projections of socio-cultural progress. The research topics are enriched by the study of the problem of national existence, the phenomenon of politics, globalization and civilizational choice, civil society, cultural policy, the phenomenon of violence etc. The theoretical primacy of the ontological approach to culture is preserved, which involves understanding culture as a way of human existence. However, the methodological tools used in research on specific topics are more focused on the specifics of the subject and the experience of its analysis in modern world philosophical thought. ; Відділ філософії культури розпочав свою роботу 1984 року. У 1990-х зміна суспільних умов існування філософської думки зі здобуттям незалежності спричинила відмову від марксистської парадигми теоретичної монополії на визначення засад та спрямованості гуманітарного мислення. Це принципово зняло питання подолання соціального редукціонізму та відкрило можливість нових пріоритетів дослідження культурної реальності та розуміння людини. Від середини 1990-х науково-дослідницька програма відділу невпинно трансформується: відбувається перехід від осмислення сенсу та категорійних форм культурної реальності до аналізу різноманітних проєкцій соціокультурного поступу. Тематика досліджень збагачується вивченням проблеми національного буття, феномену політики, ґлобалізації та цивілізаційного вибору, громадянського суспільства, культурної політики, феномену насильства тощо. Зберігається теоретичний примат онтологічного підходу до культури, який передбачає розуміння культури як способу людського буття. Проте методологічний інструментарій, застосовуваний у дослідженнях конкретних тематик, більшою мірою зорієнтований на специфіку досліджуваного предмета та досвід його аналізу в сучасній світовій філософській думці.

Contemporary popular culture is riddled with references to Mexican drug cartels, narcos, and drug trafficking. In the United States, documentary filmmakers, journalists, academics, and politicians have taken note of the increasing threats to our security coming from a subculture that appears to feed on murder and brutality while being fed by a romanticism about power and capital. Carlos Alberto Sánchez uses Mexican narco-culture as a point of departure for thinking about the nature and limits of violence, culture, and personhood. A Sense of Brutality argues that violent cultural modalities, of which narco-culture is but one, call into question our understanding of "violence" as a concept. The reality of narco-violence suggests that "violence" itself is insufficient to capture it, that we need to redeploy and reconceptualize "brutality" as a concept that better captures this reality. Brutality is more than violence, other to cruelty, and distinct from horror and terror--all concepts that are normally used interchangeably with brutality, but which, as the analysis suggests, ought not to be. In narco-culture, the normalization of brutality into everyday life is a condition upon which the absolute erasure or derealization of people is made possible.

The question "Where do we come from?" has fascinated philosophers, scientists, and artists for generations. This book reorients the question of the matrix as a place where everything comes from (chora, womb, incubator) by recasting it in terms of acts of "matrixial/maternal hospitality" producing space and matter of and for the other. Irina Aristarkhova theorizes such hospitality with the potential to go beyond tolerance in understanding self/other relations. Building on and critically evaluating a wide range of historical and contemporary scholarship, she applies this theoretical framework to the science, technology, and art of ectogenesis (artificial womb, neonatal incubators, and other types of generation outside of the maternal body) and proves the question "Can the machine nurse?" is critical when approaching and understanding the functional capacities and failures of incubating technologies, such as artificial placenta. Aristarkhova concludes with the science and art of male pregnancy, positioning the condition as a question of the hospitable man and newly defined fatherhood and its challenge to the conception of masculinity as unable to welcome the other.
"Wars of national secession and ethnic cleansing have disfigured recent years. These conflicts stem from claims that the same territory is occupied by separate 'peoples' for whom separate political arrangements should be made. Such claims are based on their supposedly distinct racial, ethnic, cultural or national identities. What, though, do such identities really amount to and what ought to be their role in determining the configuration and character of states? This has become a key concern of contemporary political philosophy and this book introduces readers to the materials required to address it." "This is the first comprehensive survey of a highly topical issue and its multidisciplinary approach will make it of relevance to courses in philosophy, politics, sociology and cultural studies, as well as of interest to the general reader."--Jacket

This article sketches an approach to what might be called the politics of Nietzsche's philosophy. Taking as its point of departure Nietzsche's diagnosis of nihilism in Western culture, the article aims to show that through his analysis of nihilism Nietzsche raises in an intrinsically political way the philosophical issue of how human agency is possible in an historical world. The methodology Nietzsche follows in constructing the problem provides a second arena of interest for political theory and philosophy. A critical dimension in Nietzsche's thought comparable to Marx's stems from the manner in which he related nihilism—a crisis of power manifest as a failure of self-understanding—to political experiences and reified cultural practices. Finally, the article concludes that Nietzsche could arrive at his overt politics only by combining his critical analysis of nihilism, culture, and power with uncritical assumptions about the modern determinants of nihilism.
