The relevance of the proposed article is determined by the search in modern educational formats for the place and purpose of philosophy as a historically proven way of forming a culture of thinking. The methodological principles of this intellectual activity can be applied in politics, economics, educational systems, scientific and applied disciplines, as well as in the activities of many other social institutions. In addition, the article high-lights important aspects of personal development in the field of ethics, and it follows that philosophy should give a person not only pragmatic advice, but also bring high moral standards into his life. Since modern so-ciety is increasingly focused on the applied nature of the knowledge it receives, philosophy, which is the most theoretically developed form of knowledge, is looking for new ways to further develop and implement into everyday practice the ways of rational organization of human life and society. In the modern situation, when most people get acquainted with philosophy within the framework of a certain educational program as knowledge already ready and fixed in specific texts, often experiencing difficulties in mastering it, it is im-portant, from our point of view, to pay attention to the connection of philosophical teachings with the real needs of man and society. This is also what many modern authors say, one way or another connected with the process of studying and teaching philosophy. The authors' proposed version of understanding the practical applicability of philosophy as a methodology for achieving productive results of activity, thinking and com-munication can be considered as a response to the request of a modern person regarding the effectiveness of independent intellectual efforts in achieving personal and social well-being.
