World Philosophy

Head of the Department of World Philosophy doctor of philological sciences, associate professor Asadova Afag Isa Gizi

The following are accepted as the main directions and problems of world philosophy: - Analysis and meaning of the language (analysis of how the structure of the language affects the philosophical understanding and ambiguity of the meaning); - "Difficult problem" of consciousness (how physical processes in the brain create subjective experience); - Metaphysics and ontology (what exists and what is the nature of its properties); - Metaethics (analysis of basic ethical concepts (for example, "good" and evil), analysis of differences between facts ("what is") and values ​​("what should be"); - The problem of differentiation (distinguishing science from non-science, pseudo-science); - Problems of logic (distinguishing logical systems and substantiation of statements that are considered true). - Analytical studies create fundamental opportunities for the study of the "linguistic and logical problem", which is still very relevant today, more deeply, widely and within the framework of the tradition of analytical philosophical studies. The language should be studied at a new level for Azerbaijan, as a special moral and communicative unit and as a moral and cultural wealth of the nation. Here, not only the study of the language as an autonomous moral-communicative functionality, but also the successful establishment of the ancient people in the language sphere and the adequate study of the unifying role of the language in the wider Turkic world (in philosophical, scientific, artistic, everyday, etc. directions) are relevant.
