In article the project of "synthesis philosophy" offered by M. N. Epstein is considered. The purpose of the project is in giving philosophies an innovative impulse, to save it from tautological infertility, to give it the status of the active participant informative (first of all research) processes. For this purpose it is necessary to redirect the main methodological installation of philosophy - "from the analysis to synthesis". It is not only about "analytical philosophy", but about all range of the philosophical directions. The method of "synthesis" allows a set of interpretations: from synthesis of concepts before the synthesis of philosophical and scientific concepts taking place in a cross-disciplinary research of difficult, multiple-factor processes. In most cases the methodology of synthesis appears as transition, usual for science, from initial abstractions to concrete explanations which receives the generalized description and conceptualization. The problem consists in that how far there can be such generalization. The forecast about approach of such stage in development of philosophy when she acts as the supplier of alternative ontologies for various scientific pictures of the world, can be understood as the romantic dream bringing in the academic discussions about the place of philosophy in culture live feeling and sympathy.
