Abstract: 

The article presents a review of the book “Comparative Philosophy: from comparative to intercultural philosophy”, published in the series “Comparative Philosophy”. The thesis about the value of intercultural philosophy in the context of conceptology is presented. The hypothesis formulated states that intercultural philosophy expands the methodological and theoretical framework of philosophical research and can be evaluated as a frontier phenomenon. It is noted that the main thesis of intercultural philosophy consists in the rejection of West-centrism, in the criticism of the traditional historical and philosophical narrative. It is proposed to consider intercultural philsophy as an alternative to West-centrism, as it rejects the monologism inherent in western philosophy and insists on the polylogicity of philosophy. Intercultural philosophy insists on the rootedness of thinking in culture. He believes that intellectual influences and conceptual borrowings are a natural, normal situation in philosophy. However, borrowing can lead both to the fruitful development of the philosophical tradition, and to the loss of the integrity of culture, a decrease in its creative potential, and the ability to reproduce. Intercultural philosophy is aimed at explication of positive forms of intercultural interaction. It suggests a new model of the historical and philosophical process, the main method of which is a polylogue, although the followers of intercultural philosophy are still debating whether intercultural philosophy is a new direction or a new methodology. Russian philosophy can also be revised and reinterpreted. N.Y. Danilevsky, V.S. Solovyov, Slavophiles, etc. can be considered intercultural thinkers. The methodological basis of the study was the comparative and hermeneutic methods.
