The book summarizes and systematizes theoretical and practical material on the propaedeutics of philosophical knowledge. The material of the book is both theoretical and applied in nature and is the fruit of a large experimental work begun by the author in 1996. Based on the characteristics of the main models of philosophical propaedeutics, the author justifies the possibility and productivity of continuous philosophical education through a number of propaedeutic courses, starting from elementary school and ending with a university. The author also tracks and characterizes the stages of the formation of a "philosophizing personality."
