COMMUNITIES AND CORPORATIONS IN ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
The topic of the institutionalization of philosophy at a certain time was an attempt to untie the tangled knot of "gnoseogenic", "mythogenic" and "sociogenic" theories of the origin and specificity of philosophy. In this article, the authors proceed from their own understanding of the concepts of "Corporation" and "Community" in their application to the concrete historical description of processes, forms and structures associated with the primary institutional forms of philosophy, which in the author's interpretation exists initially only in the "European version", i.e. originated in Ancient Greece. A skeptical attitude to the nomination of antiquity as a "European culture" is developing, but it makes sense to consider the Genesis of philosophy as a phenomenon of a conditionally "European" cultural and civilizational region. Identifying the specifics of ancient cultural and civilizational pluralism (from the classical era to Hellenism) is associated with the study of the Polis cultural matrix, which caused the primary forms of institutionalization of philosophy.
