This article is devoted to search of anthropological possibilities of philosophy. These possibilities are opened when we turn our attention from the question "What is philosophy?" to the question "Who is a philosopher?" The author of this article believes that the study of a figure of a philosopher (exactly the study a figure of a philosopher-ironist) will be effective when we shall use the concept "I-philosopher-ironist" in our investigations. This concept fills the concrete individual content and turns into the conceptual construction "I-philosopher-ironist". The author also picks out foundations and conditions of creation of this conceptual construction connecting with the principle of incomprehensibility of a world and the ability for philosophical building of possible worlds.

Key words: philosopher, philosophical discourse, life of philosopher, concept "I-philosopher-ironist", construction "I-philosopher-ironist".
