Abstract
The article starts from the modern diagnosis of the situation in the humanities in which, according to Clifford Geertz, there has been a »blurring of genres«. Then, in order to try to refer to the sources of changes, the author looks back at the basic twentieth-century thought tendencies. Those tendencies are exemplified primarily by the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and to a much lesser extent by Jacques Derrida and Giles Deleuze. Finally, the article brings a new understanding of the humanities based on the Christian tradition. The starting point is a new, Christian understanding of the flesh.
