Báseň v próze Líčení odráží autorovu potřebu popsat konec děsivého dvacátého století, v němž se narodil. Pokud dříve spisovateli stačilo uchopit svět v jeho rozpadu, kdy ještě můžeme podobu právě zanikajícího světa z díla vytušit, jemu už nezbývalo nic jiného, než ukázat trosky, z nichž nejde vyčíst nic, dokonce ani příčinu všudypřítomného násilí. Útržkovité informace a symbolické zkratky však o to více poodhalují děsivou atmosféru padesátých let v Československu, se známými i tušenými důsledky.

Studie je příspěvkem k vyjasnění Heideggerova pojetí metafysiky jako „dějin bytí“ (Geschichte des Seins), a to na základě jednoho z jeho „vůdčích“ slov (Leitworte), totiž prostřednictvím titulu „der Anfang“ – počátek. Heideggerovo určení počátek se snaží pochopit pomocí toho, co autor označuje jako „anfängliches Denken“, tedy cestou sledování počátečního uchopení bytí. Těžiště práce proto spočívá v těch textech, v nichž se Heidegger zabývá mysliteli, které obvykle nazýváme presókratiky a které on sám označuje jako...
