Random experiences of the ideal lead us through life.

​

There are ideal days, minutes, hours, meetings, memories, experiences, experiences. Recently, in a conversation about the real and the ideal, I heard the phrase: "The real exists, but random encounters with the ideal lead us through life."

The philosophy course "Introduction to Phenomenology by Sergei Forkosh, which was once read by him offline in Vienna and I was lucky enough to take it online in a wonderful small group. This is the very random encounter with the ideal that leads through life, gives it meaning, joy, interest, surprise.

The topic and all the content of the course were not about the ideal, but about the truly real, about returning to things as they are. But the author of the course himself created an ideal atmosphere with his attitude to the preparation of the course, understanding of the subject, involving us and his passion for philosophy, efficiency, his manner and culture of communication, intelligence, his life philosophy and principles.

During the course, I experienced many different and beautiful and tragic, memorable and forgotten, meaningful and meaningless events. Now there is a war in my homeland, I am in exile.

Thanks to the course, I lived this time with great interest and a deeper understanding. My views have turned 180 degrees in many ways. All the foundations have changed. It is difficult to describe in words what is the basis of the lived experience, which lies in our experience of the world to the level of words.

The thinking that Sergey introduces and demonstrates is a potential, but rarely realized opportunity given to a person. The course required a lot of work, but it was worth it.

I am grateful to Sergey that he left the closed group after finishing the course, that he shares his thoughts, articles with us, provides a platform for communication, recommends literature for reading, films, etc. For me, this course is a work of art!
