The unprethinkable and the unavailable: sense, expression and narrativity in the work of László Tengelyi

Abstract

This paper deals with some fundamental aspects of the work of the Hungarian philosopher László Tengelyi. Thus, we will study the various relations between lived sense and expressed sense in light of the concepts of the unprethinkable and the unavailable, which will be considered in view of those of transpassibility and transpossibility. We will then see to what extent the very element of narrativity plays a fundamental mediation role in the transition between the lived sense and the expression of this sense. Moreover, we shall be retracing the experience of expression in order to grasp its concrete temporalization. We will then be able to clearly oppose a traumatic non temporalization to what would rather be a proto-temporalization of the archaic as both being extreme cases of the lived sense.
