HOW I SEE PHILOSOPHY. Карл Раймунд ПОПЕР
Keywords:
analytical philosophy, neo-positivism, philosophical problems, prejudice, critical discussionAbstract
In the article “How I See Philosophy”, Karl Raimund Popper polemicizes with a number of widespread (mostly in the positivist-analytical tradition) views on the meaning of philosophy and offers his vision, according to which philosophy deals with urgent and serious problems (the existence of which was denied by Ludwig Wittgenstein and the positivists of the Vienna Circle); “all men and all women are philosophers”, in the sense that even “if they are not conscious of having philosophical problems, they have, at any rate, philosophical prejudices” – theories that they have absorbed from their intellectual environment or from tradition and take for granted; the existence and necessity of critical discussion of philosophical problems and prejudices is “the only apology for what may be called professional or academic philosophy”.
