GARCIA-DURAN, Pedro. Memoirs of a Captive. Höhlenausgänge as a Theory of the Transitions. Hist. graf [online]. 2018, n.50, pp.93-122. ISSN 1405-0927.

This paper intends to connect Hans Blumenberg’s last work, Höhlenausgänge, with the rest of his thought. Thus, this huge book will be understood as some sort of outlet of Blumenberg’s philosophical path in which both his famous methodological contributions (the Metaphorology and the Theory of Nonconceptuality) and his most lasting philosophical concerns crystallize. In this interpretation, the cavern will be a figure for the transitions. An image where historical and existential levels come together with such a density that turn this book into a very obscure passage within the blumenbergian opus. Therefore, this paper will not only cast some light upon one of his least commented books, but it will also try to give an example of the way this philosophy is constructed and the kind of truth that its procedure can achieve.

Palavras-chave : Hans Blumenberg; myth; metaphor; unconceptuality; metaphorology.
