The word "philosophy" in translation into Russian means "lyubomudry" (love - fileo to wisdom - Sofia). The philosophy was born as a result of understanding of itself by mankind, helping to find answers to the main issues of life.
In the world, disputes on whether it is possible to consider philosophy science are conducted to this day. Remember definition of the word "science": it is the systematic, checked and evidential knowledge. The philosophy has all these main signs. Moreover, in philosophy they were also developed. Conclusions and the conclusions of philosophers are convincing, proved and checked by the facts.
The opponents refusing to recognize behind it the status of science argue the point of view, adducing the following arguments. The science, according to them, has to be objective and impersonal; search of the truth but as not concern on the fate of the person has to be its purpose. So, A. Schopenhauer said that "... the philosophy is an art, but not science".
Nevertheless, any science considers a study subject at the factual and theoretical level. The theory is called the complex of the interconnected logical conclusions which proceed from a research the Empyreans. In philosophy theoretical conclusions of private sciences are "empiriy". They are exposed to a purposeful research and the analysis, and already then conclusions which are system generalization are drawn. For example, definition of the concept "life" of philosophy is formed on the basis of the analysis of conclusions of psychology, sociology, physics, biology and other sciences. At the same time, generalizations will depend directly on what theories will be at the heart of justification. As well as any other science, philosophy formulates a problem, reveals elements of the studied problem, then defines interrelation and its principles, makes their logical structurization. Feature of philosophy as sciences is that for check of correctness of the conclusions it is necessary to carry out an inspection of a system of justifications of the used theories of other sciences. It is also necessary to consider and the fact that the logic of creation of a system of the drawn philosophical conclusions is formal. Conclusions of other sciences can be checked by experiments. Simple example: The philosophy analyzes conclusions of such sciences as biology, physics, chemistry, sociology, psychology, and then on their basis builds the system of definition of the concept "life"; forms the whole "philosophy of life". At the same time final generalizations of philosophy depend on what scientific theories she will address at creation of philosophical justification. Other distinctive feature of science of philosophy is that she addresses soul of the person (but not to his mind). Concerning philosophy there is an interesting statement of T. Heyerdal, the famous traveler: "Sciences deep into dig "knowledge wells", and a duty of philosophy is to watch the state of affairs in each of "wells", to coordinate their work, to plan further actions"
