Andre Philip is an aminent representative of the contemporary French socialism. He devotes a great deel of his attantion to problems of the planning in the capitalist society. Such planning is considered by him to be a factor of transformation of the capitalism in the socialist sense. But the socialism itself is of quite a specific significance for him - it is a socio-political system deriving its origins from some universal ethical values (with in the sphere of the Christian culture), and not from conflicts between the capital and the labour, which were created in the historical process. Philip's theses that the planning should be linked with activities of different social and professional groups, with processes of decentralization and administrative and economic functions, and with democratization of the political life should be noted here.
