Philosophy as a Way from Contemplationto the Design of Being

Abstract

Philosophizing expresses the very essence of philosophy. This is the way in which the philosopher addresses ultimate questions to the world, to other people, and to himself. It combines a question, a final reprimand, and an existential commu­nication. It is preceded by contemplation as an imaginative comprehension of the world and grasping of the whole being through the value filters of the thinker’s consciousness. Projectivity is already present in it as the ability of consciousness to anticipate the vision of being. However, philosophizing begins with the ulti­mate questioning and is revealed further in the last utterance, which in turn is achieved in existential communication as a dialogue of free individuals. It is re­alized in the form of an exchange of positions between them and the competition of their ideas. Design is aimed at reconstructing human existence and creating possible worlds, combining existentialism and transcendence. The project of be­ing as an image of its possible future is developed in accordance with the set cri­teria of being. This is the final result of philosophizing.
