Abstract

The article examines the phenomenon of generation, self-understanding / self-recognition in a generation from the standpoint of hermeneutical philosophy. The first part is a reproduction of the author's 1999 essay. It notes that 1) in the testimonies of individual representatives of the generation, mediation of the individual and the universal is carried out; 2) the identity of the generation is understood through a relationship with another; 3) for self-recognition in the generation, the “pre-reflexive” level is important, which precedes the division into intellectual and sensual. The second part contains a description of events, meetings with people, reading experiences and experiences of a representative of a generation whose intellectual formation took place mainly in the last decade of the 20th century.
