Основне завдання сучасної філософії — вивчення глибинних зрушень у культурі, динаміки співвідношення між різними її сферами (наука, технологія, політика, мораль та ін.).
Однією з провідних течій сучасної світової філософії, безперечно, є позитивна філософія, яка своїм джерелом має класичний позитивізм XX ст.
К'єркегор висуває концепцію "екзистенціальної" (особистісної) істини, змальовує осягнення істини як результат зіткнення протилежних "життєвих позицій".
Філософія лінгвістичного аналізу як теорія розуміння справила значний вплив на сучасну логіку та лінгвістику.

3. Discuss the following quotations with your partner(s) and comment them:
“Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. ... But what are the simple constituent parts of which reality is composed? - What are the simple constituent parts of a chair? - The bits of wood of which it is made? Or the molecules or atoms? ...The fluctuation of scientific definition: what today counts as an concomitant of a phenomena will tomorrow be used to define it.” (Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1889 - 1951)
"What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life." (Michel Foucault, 1926 –1984)
"Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric." (Bertrand Russell, 1872 –1970)
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." (Bertrand Russell, 1872 –1970)
