Philosophie am Scheideweg
Im Interview mit Clemens K. Stepina
📕 E-BookPhilosophy stands at a crossroads: between historicism (the endless commentary on past thinkers) and systematic philosophy (thinking that bears on the present). Heinrichs argues that historicism, however academically respectable, is a form of evasion.
This 2002 dialogue with Clemens K. Stepina is the most accessible introduction to Heinrichs’ entire approach. In five conversations, the core of his reflection-systems theory emerges: what it is, why it matters, and how it differs from both Habermas and Luhmann.
What this book covers
- Why academic philosophy lost its way — and what genuine philosophical work looks like
- The four sense-elements and their application to action, language, society, and culture
- The semiotics of human expression: Action – Language – Art – Mysticism as four stages
- The Habermas/Luhmann problem: why neither action theory nor systems theory alone suffices
- The future of philosophy as a practical, politically relevant discipline
The best single starting point for readers new to Heinrichs. Written without jargon, in the form of a dialogue that actually thinks rather than summarizes.
