Summary/Abstract: Globalization processes in the contemporary world have been implemented in political, economic, and socio-cultural discourses. Compared to others, the philosophical discourse is not anachronistic and amethodic and has been omitted in this respect. Thus, the article presents the importance of philosophy in the area of learning and analyzing globalization processes. The authors, referring to the example of reactivating the concept of the New Silk Road (One Belt One Road Initiative) and the involvement of the People’s Republic of China in this project, show the importance of philosophy in analyzing the ideas and processes associated with it. They emphasize the role of the “spirit” and the values that have been created around this project. The Silk Road is currently one of the most significant globalization initiatives to ensure peace and sustainable development. Therefore, the implementation of philosophy into epistemological and analytical processes of the idea of the Silk Road strongly emphasizes its importance in the contemporary philosophical discourse.
