Abstract
- This paper is dedicated to the analysis of some important points of Patočka's Heretical Essays on the Philosophy of History in order to question his major thesis of the common origin of philosophy, politics and history shared by Hannah Arendt and based on Husserl's and Heidegger's phenomenological conception of the Greek beginning. It tries to show the complexity of Patočka's conception of Europe, which on one side can be understood as falling into Eurocentrism, but on the other side brings to light the dark face of modern European nihilism and planetary domination and tries to find a remedy for it by appealing to a philosophical conversion leading to the recognition of the diversity of human culture.
