Philosophy in Modern Russia: Crisis or Self-Discovery?
The article deals with topical issues of the social significance of philosophy in modern Russia and its teaching in higher education. The author departs from the positions contained in a number of modern publications (G.A. Antipov, V.D. Bakulov,
A.F. Polomoshnov), which state the unsatisfactory state and position of philosophy (public recognition, rather, non-recognition), and turns to some proposed solutions: the transformation of philosophy into a kind of "servant of science" and an alternative – a return to the problems of humanism. The author specifically submits for consideration a question (posed by M.I. Bilalov) about the cultural specifics of philosophy, considered from the standpoint of cognitive science. The author expands the considered space of philosophical discourse from Boethius to Engels, in which the "problem of crisis" appears as a kind of concomitant phenomenon of the transformation of European consciousness and self-consciousness. This allows the author to characterize the space of intellectual life in Russia as a kind of "non-equilibrium state" and turn to the search for its reflexive foundations. Modern public life requires self-determination and active participation of philosophy in the public life of the country. The author sees the problem of civilizational self-determination of Russia as a discourse-forming problem of modern Russian philosophy. Philosophy continues to play a propaedeutic role in the training of specialists, while in the sphere of public relations it retains the role of preparing an individual for civil communication.
