Summary/Abstract: The study proposes a descriptive-semasiological research of the terminology in the field of philosophy. The relationship between the hard nucleus and the external areas of this sphere of terms, accommodation of abstract nouns in the language of philosophical terminology, identification of opposition markers at specialization level are a few of the objectives set out. The means of maintaining unambiguousness of terms are another focal point for this research. Contrastive analysis, descriptive-linguistic methods and semasiological study are used. One of the conclusions of the research is that the hard nucleus of the philosophical language is the sphere with the highest stability, maintaining a high degree of abstraction. External areas are common variants, migrating from one language to another, having an interdisciplinary character.
