The review examines the monograph of  V. Kozlovskyi “Kantian Anthropology”. The author of the monograph carries out a deep and fundamental analysis of the anthropological subject of the German philosopher I. Kant. The monograph presents an original approach to discovering the vision of man in the philosophy of I. Kant, not only in works devoted to the nature and essence of a man. In general, the Ukrainian researcher discovers all possible models of a man, implicitly or explicitly presented in the thematically different philosophical works of I. Kant.

This is Ukrainian translation of the article "Substantive and Functional Definition of Philosophy" by the famous Polish thinker, researcher and critic of Marxism, epistemologist, Leszek Kolakowski. It examines the nature of philosophy, its purposes, and its functions, which it performs in the life of an individual as well as in social life. Therefore, the author examines various definitions of philosophy from different positions: scientific, transcendental, traditional and functional. The latter is the main one, because Leszek Kolakowski adheres to it.
