The authors investigate the problem of integration of scientific and educational spheres of modern society where the system approach acts as a categorical imperative of scientific and educational knowledge. In the authors' opinion, in modern conditions the philosophical knowledge as a system represents the most significant level of educational knowledge. It is emphasized that it is precisely the system knowledge developed by philosophy that becomes more and more important for the formation of system thinking, the basis of solid fundamental education. From the indicated standpoint, the philosophy of education represents theoretic-methodological, axiological, and the world-outlook basis of the education system. An emphasis is made on the fact that philosophy provided and still provides the educational theories with the value foundations and that philosophy is a vector of development of the education system.
