Abstract
The article deals with the confrontation of the living, embodied soul with the cold and hostile side of the word that is bereft of sense for life and constitutes its ultimate limit. The undermining of sense gives rise to a vertigo deriving from the extreme form of freedom enacted of them.
This make possible to explain the rupture between spirit and life,a certain dualism opposing life and spirit, that prompts the question: Is this dualism not specific to European humanity as constructed and called for by Patočka?
