Philosophy as a project of self-knowledge.
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 selfawareness in the present, in personal self-determination and self-transformation. 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 selfrealization, the role of a mentor and a friendly environment. The main method is dialogue, clarifying the basic relationship of a person with being.
