Summary/Abstract: The text is a review of Jan Hartman’s book Twilight of Philosophy, in which he propounds the thesis of the inevitable end of the “cultural project called philosophy.” He conducts a metaphilosophical analysis of the unauthorised claims of philosophy, which has constituted its autonomous object as “philosophising” by imposing it on the humanities. Hartman argues that it is not a matter of self-reflection or self-criticism of philosophy, for it is precisely this attitude that sustains the pernicious belief in its unique role. Philosophy exhausts its “rhetorical resources,” loses out to science in social impact. It is a mere literary conceptualisation of the world, and lives on today thanks to universities and publishing houses. In the name of intellectual honesty, it is necessary to accept the cultural fact that there is an end to philosophy and nothing will reverse it.
