Based on an almost 20-year-long history of intensive collaboration and partnership between numerous universities in the European Union and several universities in Ukraine, this book contains presentations given at the international conference "Conditions of Meaningful Life - European / International Perspectives" in May 2018 in the Ukraine at Classic Private University (CPU), Zaporizhzhya, and Taras Shevchenko National University (TSNU) Kyiv, bringing together academics and professionals from the European Union, the USA and Ukraine, in order to share and discuss common humanitarian values against the background of a current "world in turmoil" or even a "world in shards".
