About the book: year / The book is something like a diary of observation notes with comments, a logbook in which the author tried to track the winding line of the philosopher’s author’s thought - Merab Konstantinovich Mamardashvili. The material for his thoughts was M. Proust’s novel “In Search of Lost Time.” The author tried to do something like a thought experiment: without going into details of the philosopher’s personal life and without retelling the concept of his author’s philosophy, to follow exactly, from beginning to end, the entire course of his lectures “Psychological topology of the path.” The author believes that such tracking of the tracks-traces of the author's thought is actually the only option for understanding an autobiographical letter-speech, in which the author's voice, the experience of trials and transformations of the one who left these traces are recorded. A book for those who are interested in modern philosophical autobiographical discourse in its non-classical version.
