Abstract: The contribution attempts to articulate the fundamental contextual connection of science, metaphysics and philosophy in Patočka´s philosophical program of Negative Platonism. It mainly wants to outline and explain the implicit motivations, which form the framework of an access to science, which is considered constitutive to Modern Era and its inherent dependence on mathematical science of nature. The question of metaphysics is shown as an opportunity for asking about its specificity and its own way of being real. Its relation to philosphy which is capable of demonstrating the pivotal intention of modern science. Patočka´s approach to these questions opens a possibility of non-metaphysical philosophy. Negative Platonism is Patočka´s concretisation of non-metaphysical philosphy. It can be understood as an incessant urgency of a specifically human and fundamental possibility of life lived philosophically, which means, as a relentless shaking and distanciation from beings.

Keywords: Science – Metaphysics – Philosophy – Freedom – Distance – Being – Negative Platonism – Philosophy of the 20. century – Jan Patočka​
