Philosophy as Action and a Way of Life

As part of the lecture series “The Philosophy of Merab Mamardashvili”, the Academy of Thought will host a meeting with Ana Kiria, Doctor of Philology and philosopher.

Merab Mamardashvili’s philosophy of thought is not merely a theoretical discipline or an academic concept — it is an act, an inner process, a moment when a person takes responsibility for themselves and their own thinking.

The discussion will explore how Mamardashvili understood philosophy as a daily life experience, rather than an abstract theory.
In his philosophy, it appears as a path, through which a person perceives their own existence, appreciates being, and strives to uncover the depths often unnoticed in everyday life.

The lecture will also touch on how philosophical thinking can transform one’s life, making a person more conscious and free.

Key questions viewed through Mamardashvili’s philosophical prism include:
— What is philosophy?
— What is the essence, idea, and process of philosophical thinking and action?

Attendance is available both in person and online.
The meeting will feature a reception and a pleasant atmosphere.

Duration: 2–3 hours.
