Abstract: The article is a summary of the contents of the round table held in April this year. Topic of discussion: philosophical traditions of Russian regions. Different points of view are presented regarding the understanding of the phenomenon of the philosophical traditions of the regions of Russia, its essence and various aspects of existence. An attempt is made to reconstruct the history of the formation of philosophical traditions in such regions of Russia as Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Yekaterinburg, Tyumen. The problem of correlation between the philosophical traditions of the regions of Russia and such phenomena in science as "scientific provincialism", "native science" is discussed. The speakers distance themselves from unambiguously apologetic or critical approaches to the study of the philosophical traditions of the regions of Russia, cultivating an analytical approach. The factors that influenced the formation of philosophical traditions in these regions are revealed: the presence in the region of ascetic philosophers with a charismatic gift to inspire young people with a love of philosophy, interest in a particular direction of philosophizing (logic and methodology of science, aesthetics, ethics); the presence of natural science or socio-humanitarian schools, within which the desire for philosophical understanding of concrete scientific problems; formation of a certain regional and all-Russian socio–cultural situation, which becomes a trigger for the development of philosophical traditions of Russian regions; cultivation of diversity of intellectual life, rejection of intellectual authoritarianism and transition to intellectual pluralism; development of the system of higher university education - the emergence of a philosophical faculty, the formation of a philosophical community, the formation of a philosophical cultural environment. The novelty of the project proposed to the reader lies in the fact that almost for the first time an attempt has been made to represent several regional philosophical traditions at once, which makes it possible to identify their common and special essential characteristics. In conclusion, it is stated that understanding the ways of development of philosophical knowledge in Russia is a difficult but important task.
