The Genesis of a heresy: Epoché and dissidence in Jan Patočka

Publication at Faculty of Humanities |
2014

Abstract

The artcile compares the fundamental operation of the phenomenological philosophy, the act of époché, a distance from the common belief in the given world, and a particlar engagement that was the dissidence in the totalitarian regimes as an explicit act of refusing a common praxis. The crtical distance has in both cases a character od a certain heresy, of the radicalism of a negative freedom.
