The Experience Registers of the Historian of Philosophy

The article suggests the analysis of the history of philosophy as a humanitarian discipline and at the same time as a part of the general philosophical space. The author suggests looking at this area of knowledge in terms of view of the personal experience of a historian, formed in several registers under the influence of both internal and external factors. The history of philosophy needs its own theorizing, which makes it an independent field of philosophical sciences, and at the same time finds inspiration in non-philosophical sources, because the historian of philosophy is a politically and ideologically engaged intellectual. The author proposes and argues the thesis that the philosophical experience of the historian of philosophy is decisive for the formation of the theoretical space of the history of philosophy. This experience determines the arrangement of accents in the space of the material being studied and the ideological conclusions on which the disposition of forces in the intellectual sphere depends. The definition of the registers of experience of the historian of philosophy allows the author to make a number of general conclusions concerning the history of philosophy as a disciplinary space and intellectual experience. The history of philosophy is an independent philosophical discipline and, at the same time, social science. This discipline is essentially historical and largely in touch with historical epistemology. At the same time, the historian of philosophy can gravitate both a historicism with its indeterminism and the notion of the historical uniqueness of any philosophical tradition, and teleology which represents the history of philosophical teachings as a progressive movement towards the universal knowledge, subject to the general laws of progressive development. Finally, the history of philosophy refers to the field of intellectual practice, which in a strict sense is not a science, and which requires its own theorizing, but at the same time, leaves the space for intellectual creativity and depends on the philosophical experience of the intellectual.
