Modern Philosophy of Azerbaijan: Achievements and Prospects of Development

Abstract

Disputes about what constitutes the Azerbaijani national philosophy have been going on since the 90s of the twentieth century . They were caused by a sense of crisis in Soviet Marxist ideological thought . At this time, ideas about the crisis of Marxism and the priority of liberalism, theories of civil society were broadcast from Russia . Some have since believed that there was no philosophy in Soviet times, but dogmatic communist ideology flourished . They began to believe that philosophy can exist only in their native language, and many wrote in Russian at that time, the conclusion was again appropriate, in Azerbaijan, the national philosophy is only to be held . It is thru that such prediction does not lead to deep reflections and conclusions about what modern philosophy is, how it is becoming, how it relates to its past . At the same time, it is clear that the opposition of philosophy and ideology in some cases leads either to find an answer to the question of what philosophy is and what is its relationship with ideology or to misunderstanding what philosophy is . The question of what philosophy is and creates it, philosophy . Such questioning leads to the fact that gradually there is an understanding that the socio-political and ideological dimension affects philosophy, knowledge, cognition, theory and morality all the same indirectly through several spiritual, cultural, national, ideological influences . These issues are of interest to many, and not only in Azerbaijan .
