Ka post-evropskoj filozofiji budućnosti
Towards a post-European philosophy of the future

Summary/Abstract: The question of the topos of a “world history of philosophy” in Jaspers’ philosophy presupposes a critical reconstruction and exposition of its inner construct and motivation. On the other hand, the existential interpretation of the great philosophical traditions – not merely in the West, but also in Asia (above all in India and China) – mediates, facilitates and reconstructs a unique philosophy of existence. In brief, the interpretative reconstruction of a universal history of philosophy which takes great individuals as its starting-point, and “in whose mirror every present comes to itself, and present quantity fi nds its own measure,” suggests the immanence of the truth of historico-philosophical tradition, which is relevant only in the freedom to understand, adopt or reject, in modern thought, within existential communicational and free survival. Every existential interpretation of the great historico-philosophical tradition opens up other, different perspectives of possible communication and lifegiving practice in which truth and freedom are internally harmonized. The point of departure of existential thought is not, therefore, the objectivist historicist delusion by which the adoption and understanding of multiple traditions could be reduced to mere reconstruction or to a restitution that would be independent of the interests and structure of life in our times.
