Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the foundation and development of the Odesa’s Research School during the Soviet period. The main attention was focused on topical issues studied by Odesa scientists in the period 60-80 of the 20th century, The problems are outlined, and the specifics of the Odesa’s Research School of this period are clarified to reproduce a holistic picture of the development of philosophical thought in Soviet Ukraine. For this purpose, historical and philosophical description and reconstruction of the main trends, features, and directions of research conducted by Odesa scientists were made, which made it possible to determine the methodological principles and ideological guidelines for the development of Ukrainian philosophy of the Soviet era. The key points of research of Odesa scientists are traced and it is established that they were carried out in the field of philosophical problems of natural science, logic, epistemology, scientific knowledge, as well as aesthetic, sociological, and historical philosophical issues. A worthy continuation of these studies was the founding of the “Philosophical School of Uyomov,” which is still working and developing.
