exercise 16.

Hryhoriy Skovoroda was born in a poor peasant family, from his childhood was
inspired with love for his people and his homeland. He got his degree in the Kyivo-
Mohylianska Academy (although he did not graduate). Having a good voice and a
musical ear, in early December of the 1741st, the young Skovoroda was taken to the
Glukhiv Singing School, from which he was taken to the Saint Petersburg court royal
choir. At the end of August 1744 he arrived in Kyiv together with the honor of
Empress Elizabeth. Retired from the chapel, receiving the rank of "court steward",
which meant the nobility with the title "your nobleman". Since 1769 he had led the life
of a lonely and travel philosopher; traveling mainly in Slobozhanshchyna. Then he
began to write philosophical dialogues and treatises where biblical issues are
connected with the ideas of platonism and stoicism. He considered self-knowledge to
be the main reason for human existence. Crucial turn in the understanding of
theology and philosophy was made by Skovoroda, it included canceling the
traditional claims of philosophers to create a general world’s picture, focusing
philosophical thought on the question: what happiness is and whether everyone can
achieve it.
