In the 1950s, using an interdisciplinary approach to solving philosophical questions, he studied the general nature of objective laws and logical peculiarities of the laws of science reflecting them, as well as the relationship between the categories of law, causality, necessity and chance. With the advent of the new branch - the philosophy of science and technology, he sought to show the wealth of the philosophical ideas contained in it. In the 1960s, he prepared a series of works on the free thinking of French and German enlighteners of the 18th century, as well as on the immanentists of the early 20th century. Since the 1970s, SF Anisimov has been mainly engaged in the issues of people's spiritual life exploring the philosophy of religion and ethics, along with the philosophical theory of values ​​(axiology), which it regards as a general basis for the sciences of human spirituality. In 1990-2000 he was involved in issues of regulatory and axiological ethics, he studied the problems of the theory of value. He criticized one-sided objectivist and subjectivist theories of value, believing that the correct understanding and definition of the phenomenon of value can be given only within the boundaries of the full reality that is contained in all human activity, in the unity of its subjective and objective parts. To do this, they introduced key concepts: meaning, significance, meaningful (value) attitude, scale ("hierarchy") of values, etc. They reveal the interrelation of values ​​and evaluations with other components of human activity: needs, norms, knowledge. ^[2]

SF Anisimov developed a concept in which he substantiated that morality is not just a "form of reflection" of reality in human consciousness, but a fundamental property of all his life activity, a kind of immune system that protects from the entropic disintegration of spirituality as a person and the whole society. He believed that neither political consciousness, nor justice , nor science , nor religious and aesthetic consciousness, like any other component of spirituality, except morality, can bear this burden. SF Anisimov believed that this exclusive right of moral consciousness is the fruit of all social and cosmic evolution. hence he believed that here lies the "secret" of the extraordinary imperative of moral sense and the self-evident imperativeness of moral demands. He believed that at present mankind, and especially Russia, is experiencing a decline in moral spirituality. Thus, the widespread decline of morality, the weakening of its protective function, combined with the global state of another kind of crisis circumstances - military-political, demographic, environmental, economic, etc. - on the threshold of the 21st century put mankind with a difficult dilemma: the end of human civilization on Earth or the revival and renewing her moral spirituality. ^[2]
