On Theoretical and Real Philosophy

Article

Abstract

[In Russian]

The key problem of the article is a mismatch of «theoretical» and «real» levels of contemporary post-Soviet philosophy. The author specifies a number of «national» features of philosophy in Russia, the world outlook preconditions of which are: inclina- tion of «Russian people» to mythologization of their own daily life, inversion of functions of the public and the private, under- development of individualism. Among the «troubles» of contem- porary Russian philosophy the author also names its elitist aca- demic status, and also «contamination» of a personality by fet- tering totalitarian complex of fault and by ideologized discourse. The overcoming of these tendencies in the name of an original rational individual who has the right to despair and loneliness, and, as a consequence, emancipation is, according to the author, the main task of contemporary philosophy.
