1. Philosophy – historically the first form of theoretical and rational comprehension of the world. To define its subject quite difficult therefore currently there are several definitions. It is connected with the fact that there is no uniform interpretation of essence and purpose of philosophy in the history of culture. Besides, at the beginning of development the philosophy covered too much all knowledge of the world. Later this knowledge became objects of separate sciences, for example, of knowledge of the Universe. And the philosophy subject from it became is unreasonably wide.

2. In philosophy there are many different schools and the directions, and each of them in own way understands a philosophy subject.

Namely – the principles and bases of life of the person in the world.

Epistemologiya – philosophy of scientific knowledge, she studies specifics of scientific research. The philosophical anthropology is a doctrine about the person and versatility of his life in the world. An axiology – the doctrine about values. Prakseologiya – activity philosophy. Social philosophy – philosophy of society.
