The paper presents the content analysis of current academic studies (2010-2019), which are focused on the reinterpretation of the consequences of World War I in the aspect of the intellectuals’ responsibility. After the examination of a reasonable quantity of National bibliographic database of science citation resources, it is possible to define the key topics and present the most typical evolution of argumentation in contemporary scientific practice. As a result, the paper presents a picture of how the researchers philosophize about the interwar heritage and problematize the topics of war and the intellectuals’ role.
