You may find interesting materials on the Public Events page where I post my attempts of discussing philosophical ideas with the wider audiences or apply scholarly methods for the analysis of the reality we live in.
There are two pages where I share information on my teaching to students and political leaders.
Since it’s a personal web site, I added a page with my biography and a page dedicated to my hobby, photography.
I am grateful
to Nadiya Kravets for the idea of creating this web site and
to Mykhailo Koltsov who turned it into reality.
