Mykola Konrad (1876–1941) was an Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest, Doctor of Theology and Philosophy, Ukrainian historian of philosophy. The written heritage of the thinker, in addition to study on the history of philosophy, consists of works devoted to ideologies, in particular, liberalism, his vision of which Konrad outlined in his work Main Directions of Contemporary Sociology. Part 1. Liberalism (Lviv: Ed. “Bohosloviia”, Part 21, 1936). In order to study Father Conrad’s vision of liberalism in the relevant religious and philosophical context, it was necessary to find out why the thinker reviewed this tradition of political thought in the context of sociology. It was important to compare Conrad’s views with those of well-known Catholic thinkers. As a result of the study, it was established that the determination and vision of the sociology development by M. Konrad and European neo-Thomist philosophers A. Ushenichnik, A. Roshkovskyi, A. Shimanskyi, V. Cathrein, J. Biderliak is similar. Its sources are the social and ethical teachings of the Catholic Church, built on the principles of Neo-Thomism. They identified the subject and objectives of Catholic sociology, aimed at solving social issues, which formed the need to study ideologies. Consequently, Father M. Conrad’s consideration of liberalism within the framework of sociology was quite correct. The next task is to investigate what the Ukrainian thinker’s understanding of liberalism was and what influence the sociological context had on him.
