Philosophy in the contemporary world

The article discusses the purpose of philosophy in the changing geopolitical conditions, which have raised with renewed vigor the question of the rational nature of a human, the role of the philosophical worldview, the place of philosophical training in the process of education and socialization as a whole. Given that modern experts in the field of social and humanities knowledge characterize the society by an extreme degree of uncertainty, irrationality, and proneness to conflicts, threatening the existence of the global world and human civilization as a whole, it is extremely reasonable and necessary for all without exception significant social forces, groups, and institutions to address to the humanitarian potential of philosophical reflection. In the current situation threatening a humanitarian catastrophe, it is precisely a calm and balanced analysis of what is happening from the perspective of reason, that can contribute to the peaceful resolution of the next global crisis and improvement of social interaction between countries and states.
