Between Demos and Polis. Drawing on Kosík for the Political Theory of Culture

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In Dialectics of the Concrete, Karel Kosík writes that “work, conceived in the broad sense of creating” is what “distinguishes man from beast and pertains exclusively to man.” Kosík follows this immediately with an apparent non sequitur: “God does not work, though he creates, but man both creates and works.” He has just been speaking of “beasts,” and now, suddenly, has turned to God. That the human being does more than God is offered as evidence that the human being is more than an ordinary animal. Why this sudden interest in God, to whom most historical materialists would not even grant the power of creation? I answer with an interpretation that in the modern age, perhaps we need gods after all, if not as gods, then as characters of our stories, who keep alive the ongoing play of the inevitability of death and the irrepressible desire for immortality, which is also the play of creation and separation from creation, which is at the heart of modern history.
