Annotation: The academic discipline «Philosophy», as a rule, is studied in both secondary and higher educational institutions, regardless of the specialty or direction of training.What is the role and significance of philosophy as an academic discipline in the content of secondary and higher education? Why and why do students need or can study it? How philosophical knowledge can be related to the professional and private life of a graduate of a university or college. Can the study of philosophy influence the formation of a person’s worldview position? If it can, then at least the student should understand what the philosophy course is about. If he does not understand anything, or he sees that philosophy is a dry and abstract wisdom that has nothing to do with him and his life, then its study is a completely meaningless occupation, a waste of time and effort. The article attempts to show how the study of philosophy, first, is connected with human problems, questions, desires, expectations, hopes and the formation of a person’s worldview, and, secondly, how to teach philosophy in such a way that students see that it is not at all disconnected from life, but has a very direct relationship to them. The authors try to reveal both the first and the second by the example of studying such an important element, or section of the philosophical field of knowledge, as the «main question of philosophy» and the opposing worldview positions and systems of human life navigation associated with its solutions.
