About Specification of Problematic Field of Comparative Philosophical Research in Education
The purpose of philosophical comparative analysis is cultural synthesis; it attempts to engage a reflective meta-position. The main methodological question is the extent to which it is expedient to use the achievements of foreign experience in educational theory and practice in another country. Comparative study makes it possible to pass from descriptions to the answer of more fundamental questions: to explanation and development of reasons. The basic methods are the comparative-confront method, the historical-typological comparison and the historical-genetic comparison. It is important to combine these methods to achieve an objective result. Comparative study leads to a profound understanding of the socio-cultural basis of the society (through the problems of education)
