Abstract

Lecture "Is popularizing philosophical text possible?" deals with possibilities and objectives of popularization of philosophy, which at some points may be different to possibilities and objectives of other fields of science popularization. Focusing primarily on popularizing philosophy through the text.

It deals with the question whether it is even possible to call the text popularizing philosophy as a philosophical text. Is it even desirable that this kind of literature was published? Does it make sense to try throuh popularisation of philosophy to get even those readers who just can't reach that level for understanding "unpopular" philosophical text? What forms can have that literature which was published as the popularization of philosophy? To whom it should be addressed? If popularization of philosophy is desirable, to whom ideally should be addressed? Is it possible as texts popularizing philosophy indicate only those who was published with that intention?
