This study aims to consider the phenomenon of existence of philosophy in culture, or, more precisely, the tendency towards isola-tion of philosophy. The concept of “isolation of philosophy” is proposed to be understood as the neglect of philosophical issues, which increases or decreases depending on time and culture. The article attempts to research the nature of these changes in order to find out how the process of isolation of philosophy happens. For this purpose, the authors use the comparative historical method and the hermeneutic method. The comparative histor-ical method allows to identify changes in the attitude towards philosophy for understanding the nature of isolation of philosophy in cul-ture, while the hermeneutic method allows to bring the interpretations closer to the phenomena of isolation of philosophy in dif-ferent cultures. The novelty in research is to discover the main cause of isolation of philos-ophy and the loss of interest in the philoso-phy, which appears to be the unconscious fear of the unknown, because the awareness of the unknown puts a person into a state of un-certainty. The authors reveal for the first time the indirect isolation of philosophy in culture through the practice of a positive philosophy that emphasizes person’s attention on the known more than on the unknown. The arti-cle develops the idea of the religion as a way of ordering the world and proposes to inter-pret the religion as a type of mass philosophy. To do this, we consider the association of worldview with philosophical quests: the worldview acquires the philosophical charac-ter when questioning arises. The article con-cludes that the idea of the elitism of philoso-phy leads to the increased isolation of philosophy, and the dynamics of isolation in culture depends on the correlation of ideas in the culture between “known” and “unknown”. The authors encourage to advance the culture of the “unknown”, a culture of questioning what could reduce the isolation of philosophy in culture.
