Summary/Abstract: This essay is a sketch, an attempt in the light of so-called hermeneutical turn to outline the primary source of philosophy in mythopoiesis and to point the unsurpassable value of literature for philosophy. The turn toward language (or the hermeneutical turn) in the continental philosophy is a turn toward the incommensurable multiplicity and authenticity of meanings of being. Philosophy is no longer contemplation or logical system of pure forms because being (and multiple meanings of being) is no longer drawn to the notion of a pure thinking. Now philosophy is opened for every human experience and event. Here, with an interpretation of the philosophical meaning and value of Iovkov's work, I want to show why and in what sense contemporary philosophy is turned toward language and literature.
