About philosophical feelings and actions

Abstract

The article suggests that, contrary to widespread opinions and encyclopedic defi nitions, philosophy is not limited to thinking. Feelings and actions, if they are addressed to the world as a whole, to the foundations of being, can be considered no less philosophical, than ideas and concepts. The article examines various kinds and manifestations of philosophical feelings, identifies a special, lyrical genre of philosophy, and makes conclusion about the lyricism of philosophy as such. This explains new tasks of philosophical education as development of world embracing feelings which, in their turn, can lead to world-embracing actions.
