THE PURPOSE OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE SPLENDOR
OF ANECDOTES
Ljubinko Milosavljević
Faculty of Philosophy, Niš
Abstract. Starting from pejorative use of the words philosophy and
philosopher, which is the author's way to draw the readers' attention to
one more specificity of philosophy in relation to other spiritual disciplines,
he wants to offer a condensed answer to an intrinsic question - what is
the purpose of philosophy. In his pursuit of the answer, the author starts
from an emphasis he places on the significance of anecdotes about philosophers
that, in his opinion, sometimes offer an answer to the above question.
The author advocates revalorization of the value of philosophical anecdotes
in writings on the history of philosophy because they contribute to the
Key words: philosophy, philosopher, anecdote, paradigm, purpose
SVRHA FILOZOFIJE U SJAJU ANEGDOTA
Polazeći od pežorativne upotrebe reči folozofija i filozof, čime je želeo
da skrene pažnju na još jednu specifičnost filozofije u odnosu na druge
duhovne discipline, pre svega u odnosu na nauku, autor želi da na sažeti
način odgovori na temeljno pitanje - čemu filozofija. On to čini polazeći
od isticanja značaja anegdota o filozofima, koje po njegovom mišljenju,
ponekad nude odgovor na postavljeno pitanje. Autor se zalaže za revalorizaciju
vrednosti filozofskih anegdota pri pisanju istorija filozofije, upravo
zbog toga što one doprinose osvetljavanju svrhe same filozofije.
Ključne reči: filozofija, filozof, anegdota, paradigma, svrha
