Abstract
This text strives to characterize the thought-image (Denkbild) as a genre that combines philosophy and literature, concept and image. The main argument therein is that due to its formal peculiarities, the thought-image is endowed with both a strong intersubjetive thrust and the capacity to wrest the non-identical from everyday experiences. From this combination a kind of writing emerges that is intrinsically practical, and which deserves to be recuperated in the present.
