Abstract
The article provides a reflexive analysis of the autobiographical experience presented in the autobiography of Paul Feyerabend "Killing Time". The specificity of the genre and method of the author's work on his own biography is highlighted. It is shown that this experience is strikingly different both from that to which European continental thinkers or domestic philosophers are accustomed, and from that which is presented in the Western intellectual tradition. Feyerabend deliberately built his story as "light reading", comparable to comics, musical script and stand-up comedy genre. At the same time, it is shown that as the story progresses, the position of the narrator himself changes and his very intonation changes towards more personal and spiritual tones and topics related to personality changes. The author was least of all interested in his own intellectual pursuits, and most of all he was interested in emotional attachments and love for one's neighbor. For the sake of this love, he wrote, in essence, his autobiography, strangely similar to the genre of repentance of the restless atheist anarchist.
