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.
