摘要：The paper explores the Continental End-of-philosophy Thesis according to which philosophers should abandon the traditional philosophical reflection in favor of participating in more concrete theoretical-cultural practices, possibly marked by strong political engagement. It offers a historical-interpretative genealogy of the Thesis. The most unpredictable development in its history came with the fusion of the two streams: the politicized idea of abolishment of philosophy became coupled with the poetic thinking line, and the newly formed couple achieved a spectacularly high status, undergoing several transformations as a sequel. The final form of the Thesis stresses the participation in politically relevant cultural-artistic practices as the ultimate destination of philosophy. The paper suggests that this interesting route has ended in a quite disastrous result, an appeal to abolish philosophy in a dispersed array of politico-cultural practices, many of which quite ephemeral. The historical part explains the result and places it in wider context.
