The analyses in the book
investigate the possibilities and foundations of a completely new philosophy of history, although
outlined in dialogue with M. Heidegger. The fundamental questions the author
asks are: Why, wherefrom is there
history? Why are we humans
historical? Why is there
historiography? Primarily and ultimately, the response to each of these questions is: because we are MORTAL.
Accordingly, the first chapter
tackles the possibilities and lays the foundations
of an ontology of history. Built
upon these, the second chapter analyses the
being of the PAST and its existential characteristics – as NOT-BEING-ANY-MORE, as HAD-BEEN-NESS. Chapter three turns
towards the FUTURE and analyses its
existential characteristics as NOT-YET-BEING.
Chapter four is an explicit return to the dialogue with Heidegger, which surfaces the main aspects of the essential
belonging together of the fundaments and
origins of philosophy and history. The Appendix
is an applied philosophical research related to the previous subjects which
examines the interlacements of DEATH
and SECRET in the phenomenon of TERRORISM.
The book is illustrated by the
romanian artist: Teodora COSMAN.
