The Problem of the Unity of Culturology, From the Standpoint of a Philosopher

The purpose of this article is to find out to what demand of philosophical and scientific thinking is culturology a response, treating culturology from two aspects: as a set of approaches to culture and as a school subject in the system of education. The task is not to define the subject boundaries of some science (or school discipline). I am interested in the "metaphysical location" of the interest in culture, in the lacuna of man's understanding of the world and of himself it seeks to fill.
