The article shows what culturologists, philosophers, sociologists understand as a culture when they write about its crisis, and how ideas about a crisis depend on the accepted position of considering culture. Two main meanings invested in the concept of culture are indicated: a classical systematic understanding of culture as independent of human arbitrariness, a single and homogeneous system of interconnected elements with an objective purpose, and a non-classical view of culture in the meaning of a "set of tools" for constructing "strategies of action". It has been revealed that classical philosophizing offers a definition of a crisis of culture as a process associated with the forgetting of values rooted in human nature, while non-classical one considers the crisis as a necessary process inherent in the characteristics of modern culture.
