In the following article entitled ‘On philosophical systems’, the author makes an attempt to answer the question: ‘What is a philosophical system?’ In the article he uses one of analytical approaches, which is manifested in the thesis: dealing with philosophy cannot be reduced to dealing with the history of philosophy. The author claims that the first thing takes on a problematic and constructive dimension and not only reproductive and reconstructive.
