Abstract

The relationship between philosophy and society has been the subject of scientific research by the best minds of mankind throughout the entire period of the formation and development of human civilization. In the era of modernism, with the development of an empirical approach to everything, philosophy in its present manifestation practically faded into the background of the educational process. The public consciousness was no longer washed in a medieval vein, but in a modernist paradigm. But this did not correspond to the inner and outer potential of a person. And the anthropological turn that has intensified over the past decades, as well as the existential crisis, is in fact a reaction of society to ignoring philosophy as such. The Covid pandemic has further exacerbated this existential pain and hastened the need to develop an anthropological turn in a more conceptual civilizational perspective. And, naturally, the role of philosophy in this difficult period of uncertainty caused by the pandemic has intensified even more, and has also regained the opportunity to return to the scientific and educational process, this time with a dominant anthropological agenda. During this period of transformation, it is philosophy that can help a person remain human and retain the possibility of critical thinking, develop a value-based anthropological worldview.
