The paper examines different manners of individual coping with conditions given by the social. The author argues that only individual response of the sage — as a genius — should be considered as coping with given conditions. Baggage of metaphysical symbolisations of the social is a ballast for thinking. However, only the genius can do it, all others can only know it from the genius. The paper examines genius using the myth of Homer’s death and Plato’s apology of Socrates.
