Alexey Kozherev, Acting Dean of the Philosophical Faculty of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosova, the editor-in-chief of the magazine "OTTISK", especially for "Polog. Expertise" - about the relationship between philosophy and freedom, the culture of dialogue and the ability to use one's mind. Part 1: Philosophy is created so that a person learns to use his reason and his freedom instead of having to make decisions. The birthplace of philosophy is the Greek polis. Not only Athens: Ionic and Italian philosophy are also related to the democracy of Polis. A person must live in society and use freedom in a way that does not harm other citizens, so that nothing is excessive. Thus, philosophy remains a regulator of man's position in the world, where he is a relatively autonomous unit - a citizen, a member of society. In its Greco-European form, it is not just worldly wisdom, not a collection of aphorisms. It is a practice of reasoning, evidence, arguments, conclusions, conversation and dialogue. It is no coincidence that in ancient times philosophy was defined by the word "dialectic". Dialectic is the ability to speak, combine your speech with other people's speech, and respond to statements. What is thinking? To think is to speak to oneself, to speak to oneself. Anticipate possible objections, reservations, counter theses and respond to them mentally. We know very well that when preparing for an important conversation, a negotiation or a difficult conversation, we often go through possible scenarios. True, when we arrive, everything can turn out differently: sometimes easier, sometimes harder. Nevertheless, to think is to speak to ourselves as if we were conducting an invisible dialogue with other interlocutors. Therefore, if we talk about philosophy, I would start precisely from the practice of thinking. Polologist. Expertise Podcast | MAX.
