Abstract

Scientific research should always be based on some kind of philosophical basis. Since ancient times, philosophy has also tried to find its answers to questions about pressing social problems, about the relationship of the universe with its laws and people. This fully applies to klironomy as well. Can cultural heritage be considered a philosophical problem? Undoubtedly, after all, figuratively speaking, the philosophical problem is knowledge about ignorance and some subjective assumption about an unknown phenomenon to be disclosed. Cultural heritage is not limited only to the presence of any historical ruins or texts of classical writers. At its core, the cultural heritage of the nation is folk traditional art. It is precisely this that should be considered as the fundamental basis of klironomy. The study object was the Western European philosophical thought about folk art. The study subject was the view of various representatives of Western European philosophy about folk art as the basis of the national cultural heritage. The study purpose was to present the evolution of Western European philosophy about folk art as the basis of the national cultural heritage. Logical, historical, comparative and deductive methods were used to achieve the set goal and solve the research tasks. The study used materials from prominent experts in philosophy of art, culture, and cultural heritage, e.g., Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Jurgen Habermas, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, Valentina Maksimovich, Alexander Buychik, Elena Borzova. The author concludes that for the philosophy of klironomy to be born and develop, it is necessary to first create a philosophy of folk art as part of the philosophy of art. This is the task facing philosophers in the age of globalisation.
