The problem of interpretation of philosophical texts in the educational process

The problem of conscious assimilation of educational material by students is considered using the example of philosophy. The author substantiates the idea that the phenomenon of thinking as a universal subject of thinking itself is explicitly represented in the history of philosophy. The author focuses on the problem of interpretation of original texts using the example of disagreements between A.D. Maidansky and E.V. Ilyenkov regarding the philosophy of B. Spinoza. The problem has not been sufficiently studied from the standpoint of pedagogy and requires the close attention of specialists.
