Porus, V. N. On the Claims of ‘Anarchic Philosophy’ (Regarding the Former Article by A.M.Pyatigorsky)

Abstract: 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
