Abstract

The article examines the problem of academic freedom in three dimensions: the understanding of academic freedom in modern Ukrainian discourse, the specifics of academic freedom in the humanities, and academic freedom in wartime. Considerable attention is paid to the mutual influence of academic freedom on personality development and vice versa. The methodological basis is the method of discourse analysis, case study, phenomenological, comparative, historical. The understanding of academic freedom in the works of Ukrainian scientists is considered, two directions of analysis of academic freedom are distinguished: pedagogical and legal. Academic freedom is understood as freedom of teaching, freedom of scientific research, freedom of study, institutional autonomy of a higher education institution. In the humanities, academic freedom has its own peculiarity, as it is conditioned by ideological influence and pressure. In times of peace in a democratic society, we consider the presence of academic freedom, on the other hand, in times of war and times of crisis, freedom is limited. In post-war times, there can be an ambivalent situation: either the oppression of academic freedom persists, or there is a return to a peaceful life with democratic foundations. In post-war times, there can be an ambivalent situation: either the oppression of academic freedom persists, or there is a return to a peaceful life with democratic foundations. The situation depends on the academic community, which has either come to terms with totalitarianism in science, or is returning to a peaceful life in science and society.
