In the second half of the 19th century there has been a gradual shift away from classic and a smooth transition to non-classical philosophy, began a period of change patterns and principles of philosophical thinking.Philosophy of the XX century was characterized by a classical direction as a kind of total trend or style of thinking, which is characteristic of the era of about three hundred years of Western thought.At this time, the thinking structure of classical direction was thoroughly permeated by a sense of the natural order of things and rationally comprehensible in the theory of knowledge.Adherents of classical flow believed that the mind - is the main and most perfect tool transformation in human life.The decisive forces that augur well for the solution of urgent problems of humanity, proclaimed as such knowledge and rational knowledge.
In XX century.due to a number of socio-cultural changes, such as progress in scientific knowledge and technological advances, the class confrontation was not so cruel, how it was in the 19th century.Western philosophy of the 20th century experienced a surge in theoretical science, which led to what the materialistic and idealistic systems found to be inadequate in explaining the issues occurred in the science and society changes.In the philosophical schools of the 20th century confrontation between the idealist and materialist theories are no longer occupied the former dominant place, giving way to new trends.
philosophy of the 20th century was determined primarily by the fact that the construction of the classic will not satisfy many members of the philosophical currents due to the fact that they had lost the concept of man as such.The diversity and specificity of subjective manifestations of man, as some thinkers of the time, can not "fasten" the methods of science.In contrast to the rationalism of the philosophers began to put non-classical philosophy where the primary reality, a life and human existence.
Western philosophy of the 20th century called into question the commitment to present classical philosophy company objective form, which is similar to natural objects.The 20th century was under the banner of a certain "anthropological boom" that occurred in philosophy.Characteristic of the philosophy of the time the image of the so-called social reality has been directly linked to such a concept as "intersubjectivity."As philosophers have believed at the time, this area was intended to overcome the division between subject and object, which was so characteristic of social classical philosophy.Intersubjectivity trend in philosophy was based on the idea of a special kind of reality that is emerging in the relations between people.
methods that develop and apply the philosophy of the 20th century, are more complex and even somewhat sophisticated in comparison with the classical philosophy of the 19th century.This is particularly evident in increasing the role of philosophical work on the shape and structure of human culture (semantic-symbolic formations, meaning, texts).The philosophy of the 20th century is also characterized by its multi-disciplinary.This is reflected in the variety of its areas and schools.All new areas that previously remained unknown in the 20th century were involved in the orbit of philosophical and scientific thinking.
With the beginning of a new era has changed the tone and the general mood of philosophical works, they lost the confident optimism that is characteristic of classical philosophy.The philosophy of the 20th century almost came close to creating a completely new paradigm of attitude, and mirootsenki mirorazmernosti, the person that is directly related to all dramatically increases the need for a new type of rationality.
