Resume: The article describes the polemic thoughts on the conception of ‘anarchic philosophy’ by A. M. Pyatigorsky and M. K. Mamardashvili. On the contrary to the thesis on ‘principal a-cultural sensitivity’ of philosophy (i.e., its independence from culturally determined meanings), these authors believe that every philosophical thought is culturally determined: philosophy is nothing else but self-consciousness (auto-reflection) of culture. ‘Anarchic philosophy’ is opposed to ‘totalitarianism of the thought’ but overlooks another threat: defeat of culture which fails to repress the revolt of individualism

Keywords: philosophy, ‘anarchic philosophy’, culture, consciousness, symbol, self-consciousness, freedom, ‘totalitarianism of the thought’, communication
