Abstract
Starting from phenomenology, this article investigates philosophy as thinking and, from this, the consequences for where and how philosophy exists in text. Through Heidegger, Arendt and Merleau-Ponty the article investigates thinking as transcendence and infinity, as a search for meaning rather than the scientific passing of judgement. Continuing from this, philosophical concepts used as an apparatus are set in connection to the hardened philosophical tradition that must be loosened or unfrozen to enable philosophy as philosophical. The philosophical text is thus treated through investigating the concept as a point in which thinking risk stifling, and viewing language use as a central part of the philosophical as such.
