Pamfil Yurkevich

Ukrainian philosopher (1826–1874)

Pamfil Yurkevich wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Pamfil Yurkevich as Ukrainian philosopher (1826–1874).

Pamfil Yurkevich was born at Lipliave in 1826. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at Poltava Theological Seminary and Kiev Theological Academy.

The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.

His academic posts were held at Imperial Moscow University, Faculty of History and Philology of Moscow University and Kiev Theological Academy.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.

The honours record reads: Order of St. Vladimir, 3rd class, Order of Saint Anna, 2nd class and Order of Saint Stanislaus, 2nd class.

That the work was done from Russia matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Pamfil Yurkevich died in 1874, aged 48. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
