This article discusses the deformation of the world order and its impact on the global cultural, ideological, spiritual, religious and ethical values. The author focuses on the differentiation of scientific knowledge. Of particular interest are the humanities, which are currently experiencing a serious crisis. We will explain this crisis by the fact that the lack of research prevails in humanitarian knowledge of the last decades, and the scientific discourse is reduced to a superficial simplified view of reality. Plus, the boundaries of the humanities are blurred. To eliminate the superficial approach in scientific knowledge, the author suggests using philosophy, since the methods of philosophical analysis help to look beyond the horizon of everyday life and to reveal the most common foundations of social life. Although philosophy itself is a synthesis of social sciences and humanities, but it is in it that the heuristic basis for integrative research is laid. Such a strategy will create prospects for predicting political processes. The author builds his position based on the scientific traditions of Moscow University at the beginning of the 20th century.
