Abstract

The paper outlines and grounds the research program of the problem of specific essence of philosophy. Solution to the problem of the reconstruction of the essence of philosophy sets a special goal and singles out a special object domain, which means that there must be a special scientific subdiscipline of the History of Philosophy. We suggested naming this philosophical science philosophics. In the subject sphere of philosophics the research hypothesis of what the essence of philosophy is, must allow the formation of empirical basis from the texts, identified as the archetypal philosophical texts. Firstly, it is the texts, where the meaning of the ancient Greek wordconcept φιλοσοφία is uncovered. Secondly, it is Plato?s works, in which he sums up all the previous thought, acquiring itself by means of φιλοσοφία concept. Solving our problem, we should read the corresponding groups of texts as mutually complementary.
