Who needs this philosophy today? Part 2. What kind of philosophy is in demand in post-Soviet Russia

If philosophy is an epoch expressed in thoughts, then the worldview of a civilization in crisis cannot but be in a state of crisis. What the features of philosophy in crisis are was discussed in the first article. Civilization is communities, their elites, certain types of social individuals, formed under the influence of the consumer society and dehumanized curricula of educational institutions. What is the connection between fashionable modern philosophical schools of thought that represent the crisis tendencies of world philosophy and the interests of global and national elites that determine economic and educational policy in the world and in our country? To bring civilization out of the crisis and to find adequate answers to modern global challenges, society is in dire need of a philosophy with a solid heuristic and humanistic potential. Therefore, today the question of whether to teach philosophy at university or not cannot be discussed. The problem is that a civilization in crisis cannot be saved by philosophy that has been generated by this crisis and, moreover, penetrated into all spheres of public life, including education. In addition to postmodernism, which has become almost a craze for young Russian teachers and researchers in the last thirty years, in our country there are many supporters of the teachings of Husserl, Heidegger, and other Western thinkers representing non-classical trends in philosophy. In this regard, of great relevance today is the question of what kind of philosophy to teach at university and how to do it within the time limits allotted by the education reformers in order to form a personality that would possess social qualities making it possible to withstand modern challenges and threats.
