In the Institute of Philosophy there are working at the present time more than 280 academic collaborators, among whom are many famous scholars of world class, including nine fellows of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The fact that they all work as a single academic team and form a single collaborative academic society makes the Institute unique among philosophical institutions.

The international contacts of the Institute have expanded most impressively during the last few decades, the closest at present being its cooperation with philosophers in the USA, Germany, France, Finland, India, Iran, and China. The Institute is a member of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies.
