Performative Philosophy, Turning Point and Old Europe
Abstract
'Old Europe' (also known as the 'Danube civilization') is seen as a possible place of origin for early oral philosophy. According to today's geography, this area stretches across the entire Balkans, from Ukraine to Serbia and Romania to Greece, the time period being the 6th-5th millennia BCE. The central concept is ‘Kairos’ (Harald Haarmann) – a philosophical baseline that has analogies in early philosophies from other continents (Africa, South America). The future will show what significance the mental world of ‘Old Europe’ can have in the developing field of ‘intercultural philosophy’.
