Abstract

It was determined that in modern Ukrainian humanitarianism there is a revival of interest in the formation and peculiarities of national philosophical traditions. It was revealed that one of the leading trends of modern historical and philosophical science is the ever deeper consideration of the cultural, political and social contexts of philosophizing. The growing interest in national philosophies is demonstrated on the example of the study of early American philosophy, which after Americans reinterpreted their own history, as well as culture, politics, philosophy in the second half of the 20th century addressed early American culture, early political ideas, and early American philosophy. For the first time in the Ukrainian intellectual environment, the essential features of early American philosophy are comprehensively outlined in a historical-philosophical retrospective, a wide field of philosophical problems is demonstrated. The narrative that exists in scientific circles regarding the main essential features of the historical-philosophical phenomenon of "early American philosophy" has been studied. Keywords: history of philosophy; American philosophy; early American philosophy; Puritanism; historical and philosophical narrative.
