metadata.value: The article presents the authors’ vision of the formation of the “philosophy of history” as a form
  of philosophical knowledge. Analyzing the retrospective of its formation in the first part of the
  article, the interpretation of the “philosophy of history” is given not as one of the sections of
  philosophy in general, but as one of its modes in the semantic horizon of which a specific answer
  to the main question of philosophy is achieved: what is the source of all that exists? In the
  context of this consideration of the problem, philosophy is viewed as the highest form of human
  activity, integrating all types of human activity as expressions of its spiritual and, in this sense,
  supernatural content. In fact, this concerns the formation of historical self-consciousness as one
  of the modes of the manifestation of modern civilization. The authors trace how “historicity”
  has asserted itself in the structure of human thinking from the time of antiquity to the present.
  Through the views of Herodotus, Polybius and Titus Livy, Blessed Augustine, Machiavelli, Vico,
  Hegel, and Marx, the step-by-step logic of this process is revealed. In the second part of the article,
  the authors consider the content of the actual “historical” form of being that is characteristic
  of modern, bourgeois civilization. Independent human activity appears here for the first time
  as an unconditional principle of the world order (or reality as such), and interest in the past as
  a source is replaced by interest in the future as a target setting. Thus, the classical philosophy of
  history is transformed into historiosophy. In conclusion, the authors touch upon the specifics of
  historical self-consciousness in the Russian intellectual and spiritual tradition. They assume that
  the experience of recent Russian history cannot be adequately understood in terms of bourgeois
  thinking since its content does not correspond to the value orientations of the latter.
