Ancient Russia and philosophy. Any philosophy is a special type of rationality. It combines the functions of scientific knowledge of the world and a worldview that cannot be reduced to just reproducing a certain picture of the world, but includes religious, axiological, ideological attitudes in people’s behavior. But philosophy cannot be reduced to moral didactics, the function of which can be performed by both religion and folk wisdom. In philosophical knowledge, a rational attitude to reality prevails. In addition to the general range of philosophical questions – about what is and what should be – philosophy must assume a unity of method and a developed system of concepts.
