PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT AS A WANDERING SPACE

Annotation

In recent decades, the “spatial turn” has attracted attention to the issues of spatial relations, orientation, boundaries and forms and their role in the social field, in the system of signs, artifacts and worldview systems, but the role of space in the structure of philosophical thinking is still not fully understood and explored, since philosophers have always believed that the sphere of pure thought and being was different from the multiplicity and randomness that characterize what exists in space. The article offers a new approach to understanding the connection between thinking and space. There is no space in itself, but since the unity of being is divided into sets, there are different ways of interacting and coupling existing sets, different ways of correlating and measuring one with another. Movement in space is precisely a way of dividing and adding, of losing unity and restoring it, and therefore does not amount to a simple transition from place to place, but requires, first of all, a change in relation to one’s place, an internal shift, reversal and reversal, defining one’s boundaries and going beyond established limits.
