Abstract

The conceptualization of historical anthropology as a modern philosophy of history is based on the distinction and comprehension of socio-humanistic intentions and forms of modern philosophic knowledge and the stages of their development. On the basis of the separation of theoretical foundations of historical anthropology, the intellectual origins of this science of the past were analyzed and the Western and Eastern European models of the latter were reconstructed. Congenial interactions of theories of icteric anthropology with concepts of historiosophy and philosophy of culture are comprehensively understood. It was analyzed the influence of theoretical approaches of icteric anthropology to the study of complicated historical-cultural processes of the past.

On the basis of the understanding of the theoretical essence of icteric anthropology as a modern philosophy of history and its significance in the system of philosophical sciences, the scientific interactions of the latter with the disciplines of the sociohumanitarian sphere, in particular, "anthropogeography", ethnic psychology, semiotics, philology, were restored.

The perspective ways of development of historical anthropology in the sociocultural horizons (research of tendencies of social-cultural processes of globalization), educational (directions of modernization of the humanitarian sphere of education), and heuristic (outline of the rounds of historical-anthropological knowledge) have been analyzed.
