PHILOSOPHY DEVELOPMENT AS A PROBLEM

Abstract

Summary. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze such an understanding of philosophy, when its own development of philosophy takes on a deformed form and it begins to function as such a civilizational phenomenon that corresponds to the operations of manipulation, use, use in a social context external to it. Methodology. The leading research method is dialectics, as thinking capable of reproducing the logic of development as such. Such thinking allows the scientist to immerse himself in the object under study and, thus, to explore the process of its development. Dialectical thinking, implemented in the context of the process of scientific research, can be defined as methodological. Scientific novelty. It is argued that the consideration of philosophy as a civilizational phenomenon gravitates to a positivistic instrumental approach. Under the conditions of civilizational choice in the field of philosophical research, dialectical thinking appears as alien, becomes unclaimed, divorced from immediate situations. At the same time, it is not noticed that the most important thing disappears from such a study: revealing the essence, integrity, way of forming what is being considered. Conclusion. The problem of the preservation and development of philosophy is, first of all, that social space-time itself should develop according to the logic of culture, i.e. according to the logic of creative change, not instrumental functioning.
