social equality

After the adoption of the Brest Union in 1596 in Ukraine a controversial trend appeared and the representatives of it were the leading thinkers of the time. Polemical literature that developed on the basis of the religious issues, raised a number of social, political, legal, philosophical and legal issues. One of these was the problem of social equality. Philosophical and legal ideas of social equality proposed by Ukrainian philosophers remain relevant to this day, especially during the development of the rule- of -law state and civil society in Ukraine.
