Heretical Essays is Patocka's final work, and one of his most
exciting and iconoclastic. Patocka begins with prehistory,
approached through the "natural world" as conceived by Husserl and
Heidegger. According to Patocka, nature is as an alien construct,
and history, which began as a quest for higher meaning, ends with
life as self-sustaining consumption. Patocka explains how Europe
declined from its Greek heritage to seek power rather than truth,
splintering into ethnic subdivisions, and then how the
Enlightenment moved Europe from an ethical to a material
orientation. This book includes a translation of the Preface to the
French Edition by Paul Ricoeur.
