In the master's thesis, I've returned to and – from a different perspective – reinterpretated the diary and essay writings of Edvard Kocbek and also his poetry. In the context of his critique of the European spirit, characterized by static and systematic nature, I highlighted biocentric metaphysics as an outline that should be the basis for a new and creative culture. The transition from logocentric to biocentric culture first requires a change of the epistemic principle, instead of analysis, it requires intuition and a cosmic sense, which enables a deeper knowledge of all being as one and whole. This being also revealed to him as inexhaustible, sacred and mysterious. That is why I have specifically highlighted the concept that represents to Kocbek this inexhaustibility of all that is – the concept of mystery – which defies all schematizations and systematizations of dogmatic ways of thinking, those that in a person and in all of being see an already finished project. The mystery is this metaphysical sphere of objectivity, which does not allow one to reduce one's existence to a thing, and which demands and deserves solidarity and respect from men.
