Stepan Baley

The article analyses the approach of Ukrainian and Polish philosopher, psychologist, educator, and doctor Stepan Baley to solving the mind-body problem. Stefan Baley’s contribution to solving the mind-body problem was analysed from the perspective of the philosophical tradition in which he was formed under the direct influence of Kazimierz Twardowski and the indirect impact of Franz Brentano, as well as in light of contemporary discussions surrounding the naturalisation programme in the philosophy of mind.

This article aims to draw on the philosophical legacy of Kasimir Twardowski and Stepan Baley to conceptually clarify the moral problem of patriotism, define its nature, and identify its moral boundaries. The first part of the article analyzes the concept of patriotism and offers its classification based on the type of love that underlies it. Instinctive patriotism is grounded in unconditional love (storgē) for the homeland as for a mother or parental home.
