The work titled "Philosophy for Our Time" avoids traditional theoretical treatises on philosophy as an academic discipline. Instead, it seeks to directly demonstrate philosophical thinking in its living practice, employing a method of "philosophy at work." The author proceeds from the conviction that any relevant statement regarding the nature of philosophy can only be formulated by philosophy itself; consequently, even methodological remarks within the text maintain a strictly philosophical character. The objective is not to provide an exhaustive technical definition of the field; such aspects are intentionally pushed to the periphery, serving merely as accompanying elements to the substantive expositions. The work presents a dynamic process of thinking that engages the reader through specific intellectual activity rather than academic formulas. This approach emphasizes the authenticity of the philosophical act and its capacity to address contemporary problems without the burden of technical definitions, which might otherwise obscure the essence of the inquiry and hinder a direct understanding of philosophical questioning in the modern world.
