Contemporary philosophy is inseparable from the general tendencies of spiritual life that have dominated over the past centuries. The ruling tendency of European-type philosophy has been the affirmation of a democratic life style, liberal values and human individuality and creative activity. The testimony to this is the proportional growth of the philosophy of subjectivism since modern times, the division of pure practical reason and reasoning into separate spheres to substantiate fundamental human abilities, to analyse the ways of grasping the world — such as cognition, understanding, intuition, deciphering, experience — and describe man’s correlation with beingness (cosmos). Epistemology blossomed to analyse human reason, while Kant’s teaching found its development in neo-Kantianism and in Husserl’s phenomenology to defend and substantiate logical and rational values. Man as a free, logically thinking, creative being in the world is the highest value of European-type philosophy over the past centuries.
