The Three Existential Liberations of Ihnat Abdziralovič

Article

Abstract

[In Belarusian]

The essay deals with reinterpretation of Ihnat Abdziralovič’s
heritage. This is an attempt to understand his philosophy as liberation
of a person. This understanding is based on 3 conceptual
assumptions: 1) Abdziralovicz’s philosophy has a direction; 2)
this direction is to freedom; 3) this freedom is not local but universal.
According to these assumptions there are three conceptual
liberations: liberation from religion, liberation from history, and
liberation from one-self. These liberations are presented not as a
local national liberation in the colonial context but as liberation of
a person in the context of Belarusian nation.
