Social Value of Philosophy

Abstract

The above mentioned feature is presented as one concerning philosophy as the whole and philosophy of nature as well.

In the first case „Philosophy in a relation to society” is taken as a factor inspiring research work on „life’s and death’s problems”. The philosophy which is open, universal and directed to common good is indispensable now. Philosophy acts as an intellectual conscience, and a philosopher is an unceasing truth trailer.

In the second case „Philosophy of nature in a relation to society” presents a proposal formulated by Włodzimierz Sedlak to realise a modern philosophy, based one on mysterious and gigantic natural trio (universe − life − human being).

There are pointed reasons testifying scientific cosmology to investigate such an object whose existence should be belived in. Philosophy accentuates cosmology to bring in the valuable contribution to human culture.

Philosophy as a part of human is subjected to general law of coming into existence and going out. We need philosophy that is „living and universal” for it concerns the universe.
