Abstract :t : Today, unfortunately, we can not speak about presence of one entire world philosophy, it is connected with the fact that the history of world philosophy is investigated from a position of eurocentrism and what we consider as world philosophy actually is the West-European philosophy.  In world philosophy East philosophy is represented only by two blocks: ancient   Chinese and ancient Indian and Arabian philosophies. Even when the speech goes about East philosophy, frequently it is examined as a marginal  part of the world philosophy which has not played significant role in its development. Thus, concerning the question of development of world philosophy as a whole, the above given facts and other historical items of information prove: there is entire world philosophy and it is synthesis of East and West, so it is necessary to substantiate new methodological principals in studying the world philosophy.
