10 academic institutes form the zone of counter-terroristic operation raised at the beginning of 2014/15 academic year. Most of them relocated ones" studying process to own affiliated branches within the bounds of Donetsk" and Luhansk" regions... At the same time, almost every evacuated university had one"s "duplicate": many students and teachers declined to leave the bounds of their own city factually bearing with the military occupancy and re-subordination to "governments" of self-proclaimed republics" [Dodonov, 2015]. For the situation described by Dodonov, we can find many descriptions in modern discourse of philosophy of education. There are some of them: "divided universities", "cleave on two universities", "evacuated universities", "in exile universities" and so on.

At the research author is also going to discover the heuristic potential of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methodological approaches for understanding the essence of the universities multiplication at the social and cultural landscape of modern Ukraine. Author hopes to find the correct methodology, which would help to understand the logic of classification of these

Divided Universities: The Postcolonial Experience of Contemporary Ukrainian Higher Education by Denys Svyrydenko

"coupled" universities and substantiate the possibility to interpret one of them as an authentic university on the theoretical basis.

Author substantiates the idea that it is important to provide the clarity in problematic situation and answer parallely the questions alike "Is modern university a sum of teachers and students?", "Is modern university a lifeworld (sum of practices, places like campus)?", "Does idea of university work for both types of divided universities?" According to author"s point of view, it would let estimate, which one of the paired universities can be comprehended as authentic. It also would let make some prognostic conclusions depending the future of

Ukrainian higher education modernization processes.

Theoretical and methodological approaches of research

Modern philosophical discourse is characterized by the wide series of methodological approaches for discovering the complex educational problems of globalized world. The multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methodological approaches demonstrate ones" heuristic potential at this context. Education is a social and cultural phenomenon that has productive connections with economic, spiritual and other spheres of human life. Thus, approaches of philosophy of education sometimes can be productively augmented by the methods or concepts of other sciences.

We understand that using of methodological approaches of other sciences should be predicted by the proper theoretical estimation and substantiation. The same position demonstrates William Spady, saying that using interdisciplinary approaches scientists laments the lack of conceptual clarity, methodological rigor, complexity of design, breadth, and analytic sophistication that characterizes most existing work, their recommendations regarding new and more thorough research approaches also lack a definite theoretical basis [Spady, 1970: 64].

At the research we stand on position that educational problematic can be fruitfully discovered using approaches of not only similar sciences (sociology, history, pedagogy and so on). The analysis of contemporary researches at the sphere of higher education demonstrated that researchers heuristically used the approaches of geography, mathematics and other disciplines to enrich their research potential. Some scientists stand on position that metaphor can be a productive research instrument at the context of linguistic turn at philosophy of the 20th century. Metaphor starts being comprehend not only as a literature phenomenon or as instrument for everyday language complement. It is an effective instrument for understanding the ontological essence of the processes of contemporary world. The special place at this context has educational sphere of human being.

As an example of productive (sometimes metaphoric) using of the potential of other sciences can be concept of "axiological palette". This concept productively complement the term "axiological system" when idea of system (hierarchy, unity and so on) does not work. In addition, we can find a lot of researches where authors used the concept of "education matrix" [Jones & Oleksiyenko, 2011]. The postmodern discourse of philosophy of education actively uses "risoma" term, which was borrowed from biology. The next demonstrative example is research of Serhii Terepyshchyi "Modern Education Landscapes" [Terepyshchyi, 2016] where author performs the analysis of education landscape concept through the prism of transdisciplinary interrelationship of natural science knowledge as well as humanitarian one.
