Abstract

A brief history of the formation of the faculty of philosophy within the walls of a classical European university is shown; defined the mission that it traditionally performed in the European education system, embodying the principle of the unity of science and the formation of a complete picture of the world. Analyzed the impact on the formation of a classical European university, of German classical philosophy in the face of its main representatives – I. Kant, I. Fichte, F. Schelling and G.

The role and tasks of philosophy and philosophical education in the modern university system, their role in preserving the spiritual and moral culture and ensuring the innovative development of society are also revealed, which is possible only with a meaningful understanding of the challenges that society faces today.
