In this 1990 Vienna lecture and discussion, philosopher Ladislav Hejdánek reflects on the crisis of modern language and existence, which he identifies as a crisis of "being in truth." He argues that truth is not a human construct but a transformative address that transcends us, possessing a personal character. A central theme is the radical re-evaluation of time; Hejdánek critiques traditional Greek metaphysics and its static concept of fulfillment. He posits that the past exists only through the interpretation of present relics, while the true foundation of history and the present is the incoming future. This future arrives as the "impossible," becoming reality only through human activity and faith. Hejdánek defines faith as total openness to this future and a liberation from the bonds of the past. Drawing on Karl Rahner, he discusses God as the "absolute future." Ultimately, Hejdánek calls for a separation of the Christian message from Greek philosophical traditions to rediscover the dynamic relationship between faith, freedom, and historical eventfulness.
