Abstract

The purpose of the research is to reveal the cultural aspects of Volodymyr Yanev's scientific work in the context of cultural anthropological and ethnopsychological studies. The research methodology is based on the involvement of the humanistic approach as the basis for understanding the scientific heritage of V. Yanev; the synergistic approach is used as a methodological basis for the multifaceted analysis of conceptual ideas of cultural, anthropological, and ethnopsychological knowledge; the axiological approach is used to identify the value principles of V. Yanev's scientific work. The article uses the following methods: analytical - for the study of historical-philosophical, cultural, ethno-psychological works on anthropological issues; semiotic analysis - for the reconstruction of meanings, signs and symbols embedded in the analyzed works of the scientist; comparative analysis - to compare various scientific theories developed in the field of cultural anthropology and ethnopsychology. The scientific novelty of the article arises from the fact that the first scientific work of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist – Volodymyr Yanev is interpreted through the prism of cultural-anthropological and ethno-psychological discourse, formed in the fields of European and world science in the 20th century. It is proved that the concepts of the educational ideal of the Ukrainian person proposed by the scientists are correlated with the theories of the representatives of the American ethnopsychological school. It is substantiated that V. Yanev's scientific research in the field of ethnopsychology, the history of Ukrainian culture and art can significantly complement modern Ukrainian humanitarianism with important scientific achievements of foreign Ukrainian studies. Conclusions. Based on the achievements of various fields of scientific knowledge – cultural and social anthropology, ethnopsychology, characterology, etc., V. Yanev developed original ethnopsychological concepts. The problem of personality in culture was developed by the scientist by identifying the peculiarities of the individuality of the Ukrainian person, as well as the characteristics of Ukrainian national psychology and national character inherent in Ukrainians. The scientific work of Volodymyr Yanev can be considered a significant theoretical basis for the formation of a cultural paradigm in the field of domestic humanitarian knowledge.

Key words: scientific work of Volodymyr Yanev, cultural anthropology, ethnopsychology, Ukrainian man, cultural studies.
