Summary/Abstract: The text thematizes the complexity of the situation of making a statement concerning an currently developing event, which subversively changes both the conceptual grid of the speaker and his existential-historical context. The currently unfolding subversive “event” (i.e., “post-modern” “war”) calls for its comprehension by the subject and for a “clear” (yes/no) formulation of the subject position in relation to the event. However, the explosively changing historical, conceptual and existential context holds back the subject’s “responsible” statement about the event until the subjective invention of his new existential-historical context.
