The question of origins has occupied people of all cultures and
epochs. In a particular way it determines the thinking of
philosophy, which in its classical understanding is concerned with
seeking out first causes and principles. In this, it follows on
from the line of enquiry followed by myth, which in its turn gives
an account of first beginnings and causes. Outside philosophy, too,
a variety of notions of origins give direction and orientation to
enquiry in the sciences, in world views and religions, in theories
of nature and of history. The question of origins cannot be reduced
to one single question or answered with one single answer. It
belongs to that circle of open questions which, according to
Kant,philosophy can neither answer nor ignore. The papers presented
here provide material for discussing the heterogeneity of the
questions posed and reflect the tension inherent in the reference
to origins as a whole.
