- Man is the only living being who is able to relate to the whole and the limits of his existence. In philoso-phising, he faces the question of the reasons why this is possible. This leads us to a topos that links not only the question of truth and existence, but also the most diverse forms of symbolic access to the world: myth and poetic narratives, scientific and artistic world views, and religious and political claims to power. This topos is the time beyond time, the other, the lost, the turned time: the past that has never been present. Phenomenological, hermeneutic, analytical and semiotic approaches have interpreted this topos in different ways. Their inner bond is explored in the essays presented in this book.
