Abstract

This article joins some metaphysical notes about the relations between philosophizing and human condition. They explore the idea of a first wonder (thaumazein), putting emphasis on its aspect of Philosophy’s pathos – rather than its arkhe. Just considering that aspect, the human condition don’t appears as a philosophical problem, but precisely as a condition, the context in which the wonder reveals the absurdity of all that exists and happens – absurdity that, for its turn, the philosophical logos searches to mitigate and/or tries to heal.
