The Fate of Philosophy

Can Western philosophy get into the view of the here-and-now living mortal only in the way as it gets there now: as a historicist mummy and as the ever-thickening mass of dead language? Can the prevailing logophagy be replaced by a dialog with the great Greek philosophers as our contemporaries, living in the timeless present? Does philosophy have not only history, but also fate, which not only does not coincide with history, but also is quite different from the dominating historicist picture of Western philosophy? These and many others are the questions addressed in this book.
