There is considered in the article the specificity of knowledge representation, in particular, the philosophical one, in the naive world-picture and its evolution. The authors analyze the definitions of the basic philosophical notions given by schoolchildren and students. It is indicated that they base them on their practical knowledgeand on the theoretical knowledge obtained previously. According to the authors, the naive world-picture practically does not reflect the "manless" universe. Philosophical knowledge of different recipients varies in terms of its exactness degree, direction, and relevance. The philosophical erudition remains on a low level. The authors think that systematic work is needed to form a philosophical world-picture. However, within the framework of a short course of philosophy, it is not possible.
