Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is both to try to answer the question: To be wise or tothink? and draw the reader's attention to implications regarding wisdom and thinking that can bederived by analyzing the content of M. Heidegger's treatise What Is Called Thinking? Specialattention is paid to the thesis he put forward – we do not think yet. In this way, the role of the ar-tist and art in arriving at a definitive answer to the question posed by Heidegger is emphasized.The conclusions that result from the analyses are additionally illustrated with an example takenfrom fiction. It serves as an exemplification, so one of the many possible forms of aesthetic thin-king inherent in artistic creation is referred to in the considerations, like in the case of Heideggerpointing to poetry.
