Philosophy as an Art of Life is not the chase after a thought or an idea


Philosophy as an Art of Life is all thinking´s essence, which is to go beyond all thought and feeling.

It is, as Plotin said, the thinking´s journey back to its own Source.

Not until then philosophy is a movement into the unknown.

To meditate is a voyage of discovery into the known, into your own perspective and history, into the whole of your world of ideas, knowledge, faith and experience, and through discrimination, to be released from it, and thereby to enter into the unknown, into the Source of wisdom.

On this journey you are in company with Odysseus, Dante and Faust.

A human being, who is searching truth, is not dependent on authority, neither in books, or in any person



The Life Artist doesn´t engage in faith. Faith has no meaning at all for a human being, who is searching truth. Faith is only a kind of secureness, an anchorage, a harbor.

A human being, who is searching truth, must navigate on unmapped oceans, like Odysseus. As a life Artist you have no harbors, no place of refuge, you must go out on the open sea in order to investigate.

A human being, who is searching truth, is not dependent on authority, neither in books, or in any person.

As a Life Artist you are searching for truth, not the authority of a person or of a thought-system.
