Description
"Can Western philosophy get into the view of the here-and-now living mortal only in the way as it gets there now: as a historicist mummy and as the ever-thickening mass of dead language? Is the only way to get in touch wit the greatest thinkers of the past the so-called "research," that is, a hermeneutical citing of the pure text, its hoeing, scratching, and commenting? Can the prevailing logophagy be replaced by a dialog with the great Greek philosophers as our contemporaries, living in the timeless present? Are the philosopher and the thinker the same existential personage? Does philosophy have not only history, but also fate, which not only does not coincide with history, but also is quite different from the dominating historicist picture of Western philosophy?"--Pub. desc.
