| Summary: | The article reconstructs the structure of the work of consciousness, described by Mamardashvili in his “Lectures on Proust”. In these lectures he presents the topological description of the act of consciousness and considers it as the very condition and possibility of the functioning of a conscious life. According to Mamardashvilli, the act of consciousness is performed under particular spatial and temporal conditions. The essence of the act of consciousness is the identity. It, in turn, becomes the conditi on for participation in the metaethical world. Here, the primary experience is learned by consciousness, which forms the reality that is held in memory and causes actions in the empirical world. The act of consciousness presented by Mamardashvili is regarded as a re-interpretation of phenomenological reduction, which has its differences. These differences give additional characteristics to the key phenomena considered in phenomenology, and let the complex of Mamardashvili’s ideas about consciousness to be treated as an independent concept.
