Summary
Predrag Finci: Until
All Until is a collection of confessional essays by Predrag Finci, which brings us the "chronology" of one life, one man, philosopher and artist. A life that has its before and its after, and the border between them that was reluctantly crossed, but its crossing led to a reunion - with the origins of my world.
"I would like to record a few more words about what concerns me, what my writing did, my life, what made me, who I am. Images catch up with me, thought units take shape. I look for answers, I look for them in myself and in conversations with those who are absent, in words and books, in reflections on the unknown and memories of the lived, I always find them, and ask again."
"In an effort to say my own, I chose an essay, and because of its openness and closeness to the work of art... In my essays, I wanted to snatch philosophy away from academic rigidity, and give it freedom in expression truth, how to express what is the essence of what I think."
"And when we cross a state border, when we cross from one country, from one culture to another, then we understand the power of all those borders that are within us, borders that we will never cross, that will remain with us forever because they describe us, and we become aware of those borders that we free ourselves from, because only on the other side of every border, every limitation are we, only then completely with ourselves and with ourselves."
"On our way of thinking I have always faced the three most important questions for me: the question of the subject, the sensible and the beyond."
"I would like to say something else before the end, such as order, because I would not even leave the visit without saying 'goodbye'."
