Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the ideas of creative and cultural industries from philosophical, sociological and communication perspectives. Herewith it criticizes the orientation towards “pure reason” of these sciences when the theorists do not appeal to the social phenomena. Although the ideas of creative and cultural industries could be the channels of interconnection between philosophy, sociology and communication sciences, the author notices that even the akin discourses of creative industries and cultural industries have been developed as incommensurable ones. According to the author, the reason is not only the closeness of the theorists’ guilds but also the ignorance of communication phenomena in philosophy and sociology in general. The author presents the milestones of creative ecology and creative ethics and stresses the contribution of existential phenomenology in development of branches of communication science including creative and cultural industries.
