Abstract
Philosophy as a project is defined by us in practical terms, as a form of spiritual activity, spiritual practice aimed at posing, analyzing, and resolving various worldview issues related to the development of a holistic view of a person and his place in the world. The article presents the main characteristics of the philosophical project of self-knowledge, consisting in self-awareness in the present, in personal self-determination and self-transformation. These characteristics are also applicable to the educational process. The article summarizes the practical experience of building up the process of teaching philosophy based on scientific ignorance. The main factors of this process are personal interest, successful self-realization, the role of a mentor and a friendly environment. The main method is dialogue, clarifying the basic relationship of a person with being. In this context, philosophizing fulfills a therapeutic function, becoming a practice of “self-care”.
Highlights
The essence of a philosophical project for any person is self-knowledge, and selfknowledge in the deepest forms
Performing a philosophical project, being in the process of realizing authenticity, a person always abides in the situation “here and ”, he does not indulge in empty dreams of the future and does not “get stuck” in memories of the past
Is it possible to implement a philosophical project through the educational process? This is possible if personal interest is considered the most important in this process, because without it, the person involved in this process, firstly, does not understand what to do, and secondly, it is not clear for what purpose
Summary
The essence of a philosophical project for any person is self-knowledge, and selfknowledge in the deepest forms. When one or another “borderline situation” casts him to itself, when the usual patterns (behavioral, speech, and mental automatisms) do not work, he becomes a philosopher in an existential sense [2] In these situations, he will need certain skills, ways of working with himself as an adequate response to the challenges that being poses to him. It’s not to accept it with head bowed and heart empty, as anyone accept the death penalty, but to find the point in this Such a search for oneself here and in each specific situation, is the task of philosophy for man and for mankind (in the person of this man). This is always an open project of philosophy, which is always relevant and, not completed
