The causes of the crisis of the Humanities in the world and in Russia after the perestroika and anti-constitutional revolution in October 1993 are analyzed. It is
shown that the reforms in the field of education have led to its devaluation, especially in the field of humanitarian knowledge. The phenomenon of «clip thinking» and its negative role for humanitarianism is considered. It is proved that philosophy is wrong to refer only to the Humanities, but it certainly has a direct relationship to them, acting as the ideological core of humanitarianism.
Key words: Humanities, social and natural Sciences, educational reforms in Russia, clip thinking, philosophy and humanitarian knowledge.
