Abstract

The article is an attempt to understand the reasons for the military and political confrontation between Ukraine and Russia in terms of value contradictions between the discourse of Kant and its Russian conservative opponent. War in this context is interpreted as an instrument of political and socio-ethical division and contradiction between the universal rational principles of the political sphere, on the one hand, and the specific metaphysical dimensions of the «offended people» on the other. The paper substantiates fundamentally incompatible models of the political choice. In Ukraine, unlike in Russia, the political sphere is perceived not only in the dimension of existential, antagonistic struggle with the enemy, but also as a sphere of agonistic: as a phenomenon of political competition, socio-cultural exchange of ideas, as a free communication space of an open public sphere, where moral-normative and functional dimensions are subject to public discussion. The author focuses attention on the important role of the Kantian theoretical heritage for the formation of a new political discourse in the post-colonial country, as well as on the incompatibility of the civil heritage of the German philosopher with the imperial political tradition. It is noted that the idea of «eternal peace» in Ukraine can not be realized without waging a «just war», which in our reality is a factor in the political and moral consolidation of Ukrainian society.
