Philosophical comparative study in Russia: historical and contemporary aspects
Intercivilization interactions which became a stable tendency in the world history in the colonial epoch, serve as an objective foundation for the formation of culture and philosophy in Russia. Comparative philosophical culture was never imposed from outside, it is being formed on its own, has a historical background and a certain mentality type. It is rooted in the world picture; its present is concern for the future; its future is address to the past as spoken, "thought about". The modern stage of comparative philosophy is characterized by the attempts to develop basic trends of comparative historical and philosophical research which is connected with comparison of philosophical systems (Philosophical Anthropology, Culturology etc.).
