The dogmatic mentality in philosophy is focused on me concept "I think". The source of philosophical thinking asq general form of thought consists of doxa and common sense. Doxa is an opinion of everybody which seeks to become general. Doxa embodies idea of Identity, white common sense – idea of Difference. The ordinary consciousness and philosophical reason operate with categories of opposition, similarity, analogy and identity. Platon's dialogue «Teetet's» represents the classical philosophical project of the Greek thought, recognizing what it means to think. Analyzing the experience of previous philosophical ideas, Platon came to me conclusion that the only thing that exists is the Uniform Entity, In order to be original, the thing has to be intelligible. The project of postmodern is focused not on Logos's uniform system or Superconscious (God), but on Repetition and Difference (Zh. Delez).
