ИСТИНА

Philosophy seems to be, apart from all values and achievements the humanity has acquired throughout the whole history of its existence, the most bright and unconditional heritage. Not everyone would agree with this statement, for even among professional philosophers one can find a viewpoint that philosophy has come to its end, is exhausted, and is over. Nevertheless, one can positively speak about unquestionable value of philosophy and even more, about its growing role under modern circumstances. Without diminishing the meaning of religion and science, not mentioning other values, in social life I would, nevertheless, position philosophy much higher taking into consideration its role in cultural and civilizational development of both separate peoples and world community as a whole.
