Vulnerability ethics as an ontological condition of resilience

Blokha, Yaroslav

The chapter of the monograph is devoted to a philosophical-ethical analysis of the relationship between vulnerability and resilience in the context of full-scale war. The authors argue that vulnerability is an ontological characteristic of human existence, while resilience is the ability to preserve inner integrity, dignity, and moral agency despite suffering. The cordocentric tradition of Hryhorii Skovoroda is examined as a spiritual resource for understanding steadfastness. The key components of resilience and their dependence on social support are analysed. It is concluded that individual and national resilience are interconnected, and that fostering a culture of vulnerability and mutual support is a societal task of paramount importance.
