An Interview with Dr. Anatoly Akhutin. Moscow. 26th December 2012
(Prepared by A. Patkul)
Anatoly Akhutin describes the original intention that led him to philosophy and stresses several defining
moments. Those include the relationship of Anatoly Akhutin with his teacher Vladimir Bibler,
Akhutin’s understanding of the place of his own thought among his predecessors in philosophy and
Akhutin’s definition of the essence of philosophy as that which deals with the origin and can be seen
as the logic of the origin. He also considers the relation of the particularity of a philosopher and the
essence of philosophy. The contemporary situation inclines Akhutin to address such topics as the definition
of philosophy as a science, philosophical definition of science, the role of analytical philosophy in
contemporary philosophical discourse and place of philosophy at Universitis.
