On the other side of the mirror

This book is a collection of philosophical essays tentatively titled On the Other Side of the Mirror. This emphasizes that the main interest and the focus of discussion will be focused on man the diverse and not always explicit aspects of his being in the world. This is not a simple task as all the long experience of world philosophy unequivocally testifies. The maxim Know thyself carved on the portico of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi is still on the one hand an impossible task but on the other hand a star of captivating happiness that attracts and gives strength to many generations of philosophers and natural scientists. To go beyond the usual practical-living notions established stamps and habitual stereotypes requires both a complex of questions concerning the study of human nature and a host of sacred questions and a fair list of questions of socio-economic and political nature. Author''s reflections with an invitation to go into the looking-glass on all of these topics is just what can be found in this book. It is for the widest range of readers: not only for those interested in philosophy but also for any sane person.
