The genesis of philosophy as an integrated problem

This problem is not an aspect of the consideration only of historical science or Scientology, the problem should be seen much more widely, due to uniqueness of the phenomenon of philosophy that includes both scientific component, and worldly and practical, which is most clearly manifested, for example,the initial stage of its development.

historical genesis of philosophy suggests an answer to the question of when it originated and in what ways has developed in the space-time dimension.Obviously, the start to the study of the genesis of philosophy should be to attempt to understand the parameters of civilization that have characterized the company at the time of occurrence of this phenomenon.And this time temporally coincides with when the contradictions of social life and the natural knowledge of being could not be resolved by traditional methods at that time.The spatial relationship draws our attention to ancient Greece, where the data of contradiction evident in most, but because the genesis of philosophy in ancient Greece to be regarded as the starting point of our analysis.

In fact, the emergence and development of philosophy creates the need for a clear distinction between the phenomena of life which are universally recognized as the truth, and those that are questionable and can not be verified by currently available resources.That is why philosophy as a system of views and ideas arise on the basis of the prevailing criticism to her traditional umopostroeny, reflecting the existence of man and nature, she criticizes customs and traditions, offering not only a new look at things, but new tools, forming this view.This is evident from the fact that they themselves were the first ancient Greek philosophers, especially critics of the mythological Greek culture, finding in it the logical inconsistency (sometimes - is absurd), and immorality.It should be noted that this criticism does not mean that these philosophers finally tore all ties with the mythological worldview, they just "grow" out of the narrow confines of mythologism and offered the public a more extensive look at things.The genesis of philosophy, perhaps, contains this passage as one of the most dramatic pages, because I was not only the perception of the world a person, has changed after and cultural, moral, political and legal forms of organization of life.

emerging and increasingly deepening conflict between traditional forms of knowledge and understanding of the world and the new, philosophical type of thinking becomes the revolutionary impetus, motivation, pushing people to attempt to give the world a new existing rationale and explanation.

In ancient Greek society genesis of philosophy begins when the habitual way of life, its interpretation and justification, are under threat.People not only can not explain all of the old standards, say, good and evil, but can no longer live by the old standards and samples, follow the old values.This condition is comparable with deep mental crisis (in relation to Greece, the crisis was resolved by the formation of a fundamentally new phenomenon of civilization - Hellenistic culture) that are lost and guidelines for identification of people in almost all spheres of their life.For example, in the 6th century BC in Greece, destroyed almost all of its traditional pillars of sociality based on the visible boundaries of class division, which enshrines the ideology of the time - the myths.

It took a completely different understanding of economic and social organization, as slave labor has sufficiently proved its futility.Politics is no longer interpreted as a reality of the gods, and was seen as a "work of human hands."Naturally, all these things have contributed to the destruction of the old forms of relationships in the community and offered him new tools and patterns of self-organization.

In the thinking and knowledge comes the decisive rejection of imagery and metaphor inherent myths.Thinking becomes rational, his face filled with an operational concepts and categories.And so, gradually it becomes the dominant type of philosophy of consciousness and outlook, including the elements of mythology, just as some of its parts.
