description The vain compulsion to repeat in which the philosophical search for the foundation consists depends on how the philosophical faith of the "inhabitants of time" has invented and established the super-device of Meaning. It constitutes the mark of the symbolic as a special protrusion, in which only human beings endowed with the vox significativa (phonésemantiké) can have and share a world. Otherwise, “thinking” is the capacity of every living being to respond to stimulations, transforming this reaction into habits of answer (according to the terminology of C.S. Peirce). And Mind is the atmosphere that surrounds and permeates the unpredictable metamorphoses that the mixis-entanglement of the living life undergoes. The first part of this paper, on underlining the fact that the search for a foundation is connatural to the special (in all senses)practice of analytic philosophy, dwells upon the constitutive aporetic nature both of every position or postulation of foundation, and of every deconstruction of such foundational claim, identifying in the instance of semantic meaning the generating fulcrum of every foundational philosophical requirement. Meaning semantically is the mark of the Symbolic, that is of that peculiar anthropocentered protrusion, in which the “infinite semiosis” takes on an abstractly and humanlylogical-legal value. The second part dwells, starting from the “interlude” of the Platonic Theaetetus, upon the nature of conversational thinking, which is not dominated neither by the obsession of rapacious and fleeing Time, nor by the “superstition” of semantic Meaning, prevents any fundamentalist temptation and exceeds the imperium of the Symbolic. The third part – based on some late twentieth-century and contemporary examples – finds in the gambling Play of creative thinking of the work in the arts, in accordance with the dynamic model of music and dance, the full expression of the conversational model at a transspecific and non-anthropocentred level. What the dynamic non-symbolic arts testify to and invite to practice is a practical-performative and not merely poietic productive thinking, which is not exercised beyond philosophy, nor as an alternative to philosophizing, but alongside philosophical thinking. Thus putting aside and suspending the inflexible power of any speculatively logical-dialecticalmachination and displacing any mystifying irenic rhetoric of the dialogue.
