Abstract

The problem with which this text is opens is the exclusion of the “testimonios” from the philosophycal Library and the objective will be to demostrate that such texts can be included. Frist of all, I will try to destabilize the distinction between philosophical and non-philosophical text. Then, I will show that the “testimonios” are a consistent mode of expression of a certain conception of philosophy. Thirdly, I intends to open the possibility of a philosophical discourse no-proposicion in the “testimonios”. Finally, I will show that what you can find in the “testimonios” are images and that they should be interpreted as such to gain access to their philosophical knowledge.
