Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the original method of teaching Philosophy “The Philosophical Review” worked out by R.Alasheeva and Y.Makakenko. The purpose of the article is to give the reader some information on the description and the analysis of the method “The Philosophical Review” as a project method of education. The methods are descriptive, comparative, logical and hermeneutical. The principles of the project “The Philosophical Review” are shown in the context of the ideas of E.S.Polat, V.H. Kilpatrick, M.M. Epstein and G.P. Shchedrovitsky. The introduction of the original method “The Philosophical Review” in the institutes of higher education in Ekaterinburg (Ural Federal University named after the first Presindent of Russia B.N.Yeltsin) and Moscow (Institute of Dramatic Art named after P.M.Ershov) of the last eight years are shown, including acting skills and stage direction. The main objects and themes of the student’s theses are described. The potentials of realization and the perspectives of application of the method are described. The method’s interactive potential is stressed (the use of skype in the jury work). The authors conclude that the method motivates the students to study Philosophy thoroughly. Besides it gives the students an opportunity of independent realization of their projects; they form their worldview and the ideology with the help of the method.
