In the article the author attempts first to set down and then to take a position with respect to selected themes that were considered in a discussion about the condition of philosophy and its social status. The basis of his declaration is the conviction that the philosophy, cultivated professionally, systematically, and methodically in university classrooms, and later recorded in specialized, scored journals, has the task of relating its own theoretical achievements to the experience of a simple philosophizing person, and that this task is important for both parties of the above relationship. The choice of a philosophy is not morally indifferent; it is derivative from an axiological decision that binds the one who makes the choice with those on whom the consequences of his decision have an effect. A philosophy that wants to be morally significant cannot shun responsibility for this choice.
