In this paper the reader is suggested to&nbsp;analyze the attempt of its solving by outstanding Polish philosopher Kazimierz&nbsp;Twardowski. Free from the extremes of metaphysics and minimalism, Kazimierz&nbsp;Twardowski’s philosophy has not only created the conditions for philosophical&nbsp;culture development, but has also brought up a pleiad of philosophically educated&nbsp;scientists. What are the peculiarities of Kazimierz Twardowski’s philosophy? On&nbsp;the bases of philosophical papers analysis, scientific and historical definition of the&nbsp;concept of philosophy has been carried out. It is proved, that the scientific concept&nbsp;of philosophy, as one of the components of polylogue manifestation of the human&nbsp;spirit, dissolves in historical concept of philosophy. Such philosophy understanding<br>brought the philosopher to the conclusion about vital human and social necessity&nbsp;in philosophy. If a man and society do not feel the necessity in philosophy, due to&nbsp;the lack of their spiritual culture, this necessity should be grown. Therefore, the&nbsp;care about philosophical education was one of the main goals of Twardowski’s life.&nbsp;The scientist interpreted philosophical education as a part of general education.&nbsp;He determined philosophy studies as a way of life and a school of thinking. Due to&nbsp;this, Twardowski believed that method studying as natural means of knowledge and&nbsp;self-cognition is a humane act promoting creating man’s own view of the world.&nbsp;Special understanding of the philosophy and the background of its development –&nbsp;philosophical education by talented scientist and teacher – encourages reflection&nbsp;on the problems in the field of Ukrainian philosophy. Philosophical and pedagogical&nbsp;understanding of Twardowski’s experience is relevant in the context of increasing&nbsp;complexity of modern relationships between a man and society.&nbsp;</p> ER -
