Anticolonial revolution and the social mission of philosophy

Abstract: 

Introduction. The question of the social role of philosophy in the context of anticolonial revolution, is discussed. Defending its sovereignty and freedom on the battlefields, Russia today faces the need to preserve its traditional values, to get rid of colonial dependence on the West at the intellectual, cultural and philosophical level. Theoretical analysis. It is shown that the system of higher education has two functions - training of specialists and education of citizens. After the collapse of the USSR, the domestic education system lost the function of educating citizens, turning into a system of production of consumers of Western ideas and technologies. An important role in this transformation was played by the “philosophical perestroika” of the late 1980s, which turned university philosophy into a translator of Western ideas and approaches. The beginning of the special military operation and the next round of confrontation between Russia and the collective West set before the Russian philosophical community the task of freeing itself from Western philosophical influence and standing up for traditional spiritual and moral values. Conclusion. An important reference point for the philosophical community in the new context is Presidential Decree No. 809, adopted in November 9, 2022.
