Abstract
Aim. Based on philosophical methodology, to reveal in detail the content and functions of philosophy both as a science and as a theoretical worldview.
Methodology. The work is carried out on the basis of an “expansion” approach, a systems approach using classification methods and comparative analysis.
Results. The functions of philosophy include: functions of the ontological-gnoseological block (ontological, gnoseological informational, integrative, explanatory, descriptive, terminological), functions of the historical block (historical, accumulative, communicative, reconstructive), functions of the logical block (the logical function proper, the functions of proof, rationalization, teleological), functions of the methodological-methodical block (methodological; methodical; nomonological, generative, critical, axiological, algorithmization function), functions of the ideological block (didactic, educational, propaganda, agitation, ethical, aesthetic, cultural, normative and the ideological function proper), functions of the practical block (praxeological, criterial, mobilization, organizational, regulatory).
Research implications. The results of the study can be used to improve the methodological competencies of both teachers of philosophical disciplines and students.
