This brief note from April 1984, written within a neurological context, presents a provocative thesis on the nature of philosophy as a specific type of art. The author develops the idea that philosophy fundamentally distinguishes itself from all other artistic forms through its unique capacity for self-reflection and its internal methodology. While conventional art and its criticism are often separate entities, the author argues that philosophy is the only art that directly merges with its own criticism and is, in the ideal case, identical to it. This criticism is not viewed as an external evaluation of a finished work but functions as the fundamental working method within the core field of philosophical inquiry. The text thus defines philosophy through its ability to integrate critical analysis directly into the process of creation and thought. Through this merging of method and subject, philosophy becomes a distinct discipline where the boundaries between the creative act and its reflection are completely blurred, making it a supreme form of intellectual art.

[6. 4. 84, neurologie]
Jest jediné umění, které nejenže splývá (má být totožné) se svou vlastní kritikou, ale které pracuje ve svém nejvlastnějším oboru s touto kritikou jako se svou metodou; a tímto umění je filosofie.
