Abstract

In this article we will consider the problem of genesis of Greek philosophy in modern cultural studies on the example of Orientalism and Eurocentrism. It is obvious that in recent decades, numerous historical, linguistic and cultural studies have significantly strengthened the position of Orientalism, replacing the classical Eurocentric model. Meanwhile, with regard to the genesis of Greek culture and philosophy, this model, as we will show, has not lost its relevance and significance in modern cultural studies, even against the background of the obvious success of Orientalism.
