Abstract
In recent years, in scientific publications on the philosophy of economy, economic and agrarian sciences, attention to the philosophical aspects of the study of rural life and agricultural production has increased. This indicates that the philosophy of agrarian activity is formed as an integral part of the philosophy of economics and agrarian economy. The purpose of the article is to determine the scientific status of the philosophy of agriculture as a worldview basis for managing agrarian practice. The authors chose structural and systemic analysis and synthesis as the main methods of research, which allowed to isolate the concept of the philosophy of agriculture and to learn its essence. The article defines the philosophical aspect of the study of agricultural practice, which is an object of management in the context of social, cultural and economic life of people. Within the framework of philosophy, agriculture is considered not only as the basis of human livelihood, but also as a factor in the creation of civilization and culture. The study determined that the subject of the philosophy of agriculture is the relationship in the "man-nature-economy" system in the context of agrarian life. The theoretical value is that the philosophical problems of agriculture are systematized within the classical approach to the structure of philosophical knowledge (that is, ontology, epistemology, anthropology, praxeology of agriculture and socio-philosophical problems of agriculture are highlighted). General philosophical methodological approaches are formulated and defined, on the basis of which the philosophy of agriculture can develop as a meta-knowledge in relation to agrarian sciences and the practice of managing the agrarian sphere. The subject of the philosophy of agriculture is defined. The practical value lies in the fact that the research result can be included as a topic in educational courses in philosophical disciplines for students of higher education in the economic and agrarian profile of training. The results of the study enrich the information and analytical knowledge necessary for the comprehensive education of ecological culture, nature-centric economic behaviour of specialists in the agrarian sphere of production
