Original language description
Vít Pokorný's essay aims to think about thinking, to think about what thinking is and how it is. Pokorný starts from the assumption that thinking is always somehow connected with the medium and that it is inseparable from the practices and techniques of its expression. M. Petříček bases his analysis of what it means to think through images on the fact that an image is not a representation of reality and that it does not relate to it from outside, but from inside. B. Herzogenrath in his project of practical aesthetics claims that practical aesthetics does not want to think about art, but with art, with images, sounds, and so on. Thinking here means thinking through/in/with something, that is, not only through speech and text and not only through images, but generally through any means of expression in which thinking can manifest. This study also interprets media as interfaces, as generally defined by B. Hookway, that is as a relational system emergent to its constitutive parts.Thinking-with always operates through something, it is always mediated, as well as mediating, but it also always takes place somewhere, that is, as an embodied and situated activity of the organism in the environment. In this context, the author interprets the concept of thinking also in the light of Deleuze's text "Proust and the signs" according to which we seek the truth not because we want to, but because we are forced to do so by the violence of signs. However, thinking through, with or in something also means that we, as the authors, are not fully autonomous. Thinking does not originate from within the free, disembodied will and depends on the interface of its action by whose possibilities it is limited. In her essay "On the practice of theory", K. Krtilová therefore asks, on the one hand, how to accept the technological concepts or media determination of thinking and, on the other hand, how to understand thinking as a free activity that is able to exceed each of its technological determinations.
