Summary/Abstract: Tanagad synthesises two types of philosophical thinking about the individual andthe individual’s relations with the world and other entities. Selected ideas of theEnlightenment philosophy are confronted with the idea of interdependence in theBuddhist doctrine of madhyamaka (the golden mean) in reference to the internal relationin logical thinking. Tanagad analyses an Italian traveller’s accounts, at a conference inKrakow and in online interviews, of her horseback trip from Mongolia to Poland. Thismakes it possible for Tanagad to illustrate different cultural contexts of these ideas.
