Abstract

One of the main philosophical problems today is the definition of philosophy itself. The answer to the questions of what philosophy is, what its tasks are today, how it differs from other areas of the spiritual life of man and society is extremely important today. Our modern answers to these questions often lead to Heidegger. However, if we take a closer look at the discussions of the German Enlightenment, we will notice that this question was first clearly formulated at that time. One of the philosophers who gave his answer to this question was I. Kant. And it was he, and not Heidegger, who first formulated those features of philosophy that we still attribute to it.
