text

is not really a text, but a contribution to an ongoing conversation that we inherit from our predecessors, address to our contemporaries and transmit to our successors.

All thinking is essentially dialogical. Even when we are writing texts, We are alwaysthinking with and talking to others. Whether these others are our predecessors,contemporaries or successors, to use Schlitz's typifications, whether they are pastwriters, future readers, or a bit of both, as is the case with the author who readswhat he writes while he thinks, they are always somehow there as members ofa virtual, potentially universal audience we are addressing in thought when weare writing. Consequently, our texts are not really texts, but contributions to anongoing conversation that we inherit from our predecessors, address to our con,temporaries and transmit to our successors.
