Conversations about thinking. Mamardashvili M.

In the real book of the outstanding thinker Metrab Konstantinovich Mamardashvili, a course of lectures entitled “Conversations of Thinking”, read by students of Tbilisi State University in 1986-1987.

“Conversations of thinking” are conversations about the philosophy considered by the author not as an academic discipline, but as an act that can be performed in universal life situations, an act of thought as events in the world. Such an understanding of thinking involves paying attention to the most difficult layer of thought, which nevertheless forms the basis of its inclusion in the real processes of movement and establishing the meaning of human life and history - namely, on the figurative, or symbolic, layer of thinking; This aspect also discusses some social and cultural processes and events.
