Filozofija u procesu kulture / Senzibilitet za krizu i promjene u kulturi Evrope
Philosophy in the process of culture/Sensibility to crisis and changes in European culture

Summary/Abstract: Henrich’s philosophy of ethics has a legitimate connection with the traditions of theory, but above all with those that emphasize the rational foundation of the norms of human life, action and conduct. It should be seen as akin to Jonas’s philosophical ethics, as something complementary in analyses of every kind of practical nihilism and nihilist actions that are already threatening to overthrow the world and its image, with its natural order, dynamics of social life and communication. In its own fashion, Henrich’s philosophy sums up and expresses the essence of human existence, the paths to sanctuary at a time of multiple reflection. With its ambiguity, its internal difficulties, its thesis that metaphysical concepts necessarily arise from selfawareness and its dynamic, its comprehension that is capable of discerning the truth, particularly that of scientistic liberation/ self-liberation and the “historical phenomenon of physical theory,” his philosophy demonstrates that it can be reduced neither to success of any kind nor to sterility and resignation. It belongs, therefore, within open questions, in the struggle to give meaning to the historic place of humanity and its efforts to wipe itself out or to survive, to abandon itself to the fascination of destruction that leads, one might say, to a complete loss of the meaning of the individual, or to find reasons for the self-description and interpretation of its position such as to pave the way to our conscious life and the acceptance of universalist norms. This is Henrich’s vertical “with its ambiguous depth of height.”
