The paper analyses possible contributions of philosophy and philosophers to architecture and architects’ work. During the twen- tieth century, a number of dominant positions in philosophy, such as the view that all thinking is verbal or that conceptual thinking determines the contents of perception, significantly limited the ground for produc- tive intellectual interaction between architects and philosophers. With the demise of such positions in recent decades, one can hope that phi- losophy and philosophers could make genuine contributions to archi- tectural theory.
