Abstract

The issue focuses on the socio-cultural and cognitive factors which led to the crisis of the philosophy-historical knowledge in early XIX century and determined the rise of the nonclassical philosophy of history. The authors consider the correlation between the genesys of the scientific historiography and self-definition of the nonclassical philosophy of history such
as their specific connection with the sociology. The article is also devoted to the analysys of the ideas of some representative
schools such as philosophy of life, classical Marxism, Baden Neo-Kantian school, etc. in nonclassical philosophy of history.
In conclusion the authors exam the main conceptual characteristics of this stage in the dynamics of philosophy of history.
