The research is aimed at identifying the features of humanitarian discourse of modern times in the critical conditions of war. The author's task is to clarify the dependence of the dominant themes, that this discourse presents, and the dynamics of their changes in Ukraine, in Western democratic countries, and its articulation by the aggressor country. To achieve the task, a set of philosophical and general scientific methods is used: empirical - to collect and describe actual material; phenomenological - for the objectification of humanistic discourse in terms of concepts and phenomena; dialectical - regarding the general understanding of the tendencies of the unfolding of historical processes; analytical - regarding the identification of the causes of complex phenomena of social existence (war, multiculturalism, glocalization, genocide, conflict, patriotism, etc.); contextual - regarding the identification of the historical and cultural context of the existence of the mentioned phenomena; commemorations - regarding the study of social memory and work with traumatic experience, etc. Thus, the Ukrainian humanitarian discourse of wartime is characterized by a growing sense of national/civilizational identity, political subjectivity, and patriotism; for Western democratic discourse – rationalized caution and post-non-classical rhetoric; for the discourse of the aggressor country – ideological and propagandist involvement in the desire to justify the moral deviations and crimes against humanity of the invaders. Despite all the traumatism of the war experience, it must be worked out and understood, because otherwise it will be repeated in new inhumane manifestations and forms.References
