Abstract

Studying the relation of sociology and philosophy, the authors distinguish between two different types of philosophy: scientifi c philosophy that studies the world and man's place in it and evaluative philosophy that seeks meaning of human existence in the world. The authors examine different interpretations of sociology, stopping at one of them, which studies the social life as a system, it's integrity and historical types of existence (Momdzhyan K.Kh).The article discusses the validity of the proposed current interpretations of two key concepts – the social and society (Krzhevov V.S.). Special attention is paid to describe characteristic obstacles to a potential constructive dialog between sociological and philosophical communities (Podvoyskiy D.G.). Some prospects of systemic philosophy of sciences (in framework of the sociology of knowledge) are considered in their consequences for the philosophical theory of truth (Antonovskiy A.Yu.). Some resources of the theory of social systems (especially the concepts of double contingency and selfdescriptions) are drawn as an interdisciplinary methodology of analyze of culture and multiculturalism (Barash R.E.).
