PHILOSOPHICAL DIARY AND ONLINE MARATHON AS CONTEMPORARY FORMATS OF PHILOSOPHICAL PRACTICE: CARE OF THE SELF IN THE MODERN WORLD

Abstract

The article presents two relatively new formats of philosophical practice: a philosophical diary and an online marathon. The authors of the article were developers of both formats; we have tested these forms at the university with a student audience and outside university. As a result of the study, we came to the conclusion that the philosophical diary can be an effective form of a person’s work with the self; along with the psychotherapeutic diary, this is a modern format of practice of care of the self. The online marathon is a format of group practice when you analyze and reflect on various existentials together with the facilitator of the marathon and other participants. Both formats fit into the Internet environment. The final result of our study was the formulation of an original method of philosophical practice, which we called philosophical meditations.
