If it is proposed to return to classical philosophy in order to remedy the contemporary culture and humanity, it is because this philosophy, due to its specific character, through the acceptance of real truth and real goodness as reasons for justifying both the order of cognition and the moral order, establishes that which is called culture on the bases of realism and secures its bases against subjectivism, relativism and pragmatism. Within classical philosophy, humankind learns an essential truth about itself, namely that human beings are not exclusively happening events because of human nature and essence, but that humans are persons which constitute a certain ontic fundament for historic processes and guarantee identity of being.
Issues concerning the relationship between philosophy and culture are of actual significance.
The point is that, although philosophy is a component of culture, nevertheless, in view of its specific character, it is shaping it. Today, the failures of contemporary culture are not only heard but experienced every day. The origin of these shortcoming is seen in philosophy and its way of diffusion. It is beyond this scope to define diverse meanings of it. It would require an analyzing review of numerous definitions found both in common language and in scientific literature.
