The article raises the problem of openness and closedness of philosophy. It is proved that the openness of philosophy is an important criterion of its academic integrity in education and science. The openness of philosophy is understood as openness to man, society, culture, and itself. Openness to man gives philosophy the sharpness of existential problems and makes it humanistic, openness to society brings it into modern problems and makes it relevant, openness to culture fills various forms of creativity with fresh air. The openness of philosophy to itself is interpreted in three aspects. This is, firstly, openness to the creative achievements of predecessors, the past of philosophy, its history. Secondly, it is the openness of the activities of contemporaries, dialogue with them. Thirdly, it is the author’s openness to himself, the courage not only to interpret others, but also to create his own worldview, concepts, style. Philosophy in its openness is defined as a culture of conceptual thinking, which makes a person so free that he does not pay for success with loneliness. In this context, philosophy can be understood as the basis of worldview subjectivity – a state of a person or community in which values, principles and meanings are formed independently. The actualization of open philosophy is able to form a productive dialogue in society not only at the level of interests, but also of values. Such a dialogue truly consolidates the country’s elite, as well as the elite and the people. This generates a viable social contract and allows the country to be truly sovereign and independent. Ideally, this means the moral beauty of the relationship between the elite and the people, a true social partnership that makes the country competitive in peacetime and stable and invincible in wartime. Three scenarios for the development of Ukrainian philosophy and the prospects for its openness in the future are distinguished, which reflect the trends of modernity and, ultimately, relate to the philosophy of any democratic country.
