Russian Congress on Philosophy as a Model for Development of Modern National Philosophy and its Implementation in the Activities of Ethic and Legal Club "Moral Dimension of Law" of the MSAL Department of Philosophy

Abstract

25 years ago, a new era of modern Russian history began. The political system changed, the country changed, and so did the philosophy itself. In these circumstances, the philosophers, the majority of whom were professors of philosophy, began to feel the urgent need for regular professional communication, backlog in the discussion of theoretical and practical problems. New national philosophy required new forms of organization. Such a form of organization of professionals in the field of philosophy became the Russian Philosophical Society (RPS). RPS became the initiator of the Russian philosophical congresses. The first Congress was held in 1997 in St. Petersburg. Since then, Congresses have become the favourite place for communication between Russian philosophers, as new philosophical relationships appear there, lining up new networks. The future of national philosophy is grounded on such congresses.
