When it is said that the search for the right reassurance should go beyond the community of those who speak the same language, is that not an indication that the question being asked transcends the community of any language and what can be conceived of in it? We see today that it was the role of the Greeks in world history to have made science with its special capacity for clear insight the foundation of human culture. But even science cannot let this question drop, it cannot evade the task of finding an answer to it, the task which our human existence and our urge to think beyond the perceptible and proximate world assign to us. 3 notes suture-self via suture-self
