The supreme governing body of the RFO is the general meeting of its members, which is held at least once every 5 years (as a rule, within the framework of the next Russian Philosophical Congress) and which elects the governing bodies of the Society for the next term.
The President of the RFO is Andrey Vadimovich Smirnov, Doctor of Philosophy, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Director of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
