On the other side of the mirror

This book is a collection of philosophical essays tentatively titled "On the Other Side of the Mirror. This emphasizes that the main interest and the focus of discussion will be focused on man, the diverse, and not always explicit, aspects of his being in the world. This is not a simple task, as all the long experience of world philosophy unequivocally testifies. The maxim "Know thyself" carved on the portico of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi is still, on the one hand, an impossible task, but, on the other hand, a "star of captivating happiness" that attracts and gives strength to many generations of philosophers and natural scientists. To go beyond the usual, practical-living notions, established "stamps" and habitual stereotypes requires both a complex of questions concerning the study of human nature and a host of sacred questions, and a fair list of questions of socio-economic and political nature. Author's reflections with an invitation to go into the "looking-glass" on all of these topics is just what can be found in this book. It is for the widest range of readers: not only for those interested in philosophy, but also for any sane person.
