Abstract

This paper describes the conceptual and institutional foundations of modern philosophy of education in Russia. It presents the periods in the development of Russian philosophy of education in the 20th and 21st centuries and its main problematic trends, as well as demonstrates the growing interest of the academic community in education. In particular, it identifies and describes five stages in the development of philosophy of education. Special attention is paid to the proceedings of the 5th Russian Philosophical Congress “Science. Philosophy. Society”, which was held in 2009 in Novosibirsk. The analysis of these proceedings has allowed us to identify a number of trends and approaches of modern Russian philosophy in the area under study. Russian philosophy of education mostly applies the problem and aspectual approach, which is associated with an understanding of education as a multifaceted phenomenon: a field of theory and practice, a social institution, and a sphere of identity formation, etc. The author concludes that the philosophy of education is a field of philosophical-methodological and socio-philosophical studies of education in the modern world. The problem field of philosophy of education focuses primarily on the problem field of social and practical philosophy. However, in the professional community of philosophers there still prevails the idea that the functioning of education is the sole prerogative of pedagogy or theory of education. In addition, there are numerous different interpretations of education and philosophy of education, which complicates classification and typology. In Russia, the construction of philosophical and educational theories and concepts is based on the reflection of mainly Western and domestic experience in this area. The experience of the Eastern model of education and its philosophical heritage are not taken into account. The world experience of the philosophy of education is little studied as well.
