This book is an attempt at a philosophical biography - in the line of the well-known German tradition “Philosophie in Selbstdarstellung”. We can talk about the biography of consciousness, which does not fit into decades of physically lived and expands to thousands of years of mentally experienced. Life understood in this way no longer occurs in nature, but in consciousness as a thought that is lived in the history of philosophy and is no less (if not more) biographical than the accidents of purely biological existence.
