metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article first compares the procedures of philosophy, physics and mathematics
  and accentuates the specific nature of philosophy: it is a science a priori like mathematics,
  but unlike physics it cannot be mathematised. Rather, it is the first and a
  priori of the hermeneutic sciences. Philosophy cannot calculate or compute its theorems,
  but must justify them in philosophically elaborated colloquial language. Using
  the example of Parmenides and Heraclitus, it is then shown how philosophy must
  cooperate with its history in order to gain theoretically fruitful new insights. Parmenides
  can be read as the discoverer of a fundamental antinomy of negation, which
  immediately fell into oblivion again, and Heraclitus as an early critic of the myth of
  transparency, i. e. the view that the real can in principle be described and known
  completely and without contradiction. This myth has shaped Western thought in the
  metaphysical tradition and especially in rational theology. In modern times, it was
  secularised into the scientistic and naturalistic idea that mathematical natural science
  could in principle provide a complete and consistent fundamental theory of the real. But the myth fails, among other things, because of the antinomy of negation. As
  Heraclitus saw, there can in principle be no complete and consistent description of
  the real: Nature loves to hide itself (physis kryptesthai philei).
