The aim of this article is to show how the philosophical thinking finds its way into human life and activity, into the various and mutually incomparable domains of it. Four of them are chosen and discussed from the point of view of philosophical engagement: (1) the existential – human sphere, (2) Nature, (3) the universe of mathematical objects, and (4) the social sphere. The author wants to show that a philosophical attitude enables us to perceive a more profound layer of sense in the investigated subject matter, and to understand better the meaning of scientific discoveries. The sphere of social relations and interactions deserves special attention. Interpersonal communication and any interaction is essentially based on the transcendental subjectivity investigated in the history of philosophy by Descartes, Kant, and Husserl. The author suggests that, as a result, a certain level of philosophication of sociology is in needed, a kind of sociosophy. Within such a perspective interpersonal interactions and communication appear to be clashes of individual worlds, transcendentally constituted by transcendental subjects (compare L. Wittgenstein’s saying: The world is always my world ). Of course, such an approach may evoke a critical positivist reaction under the banner of Ockham’s razor. But, on the other hand, some observable triviality of today’s sociology does not leave the other side without a chance.
