  text: 'The present paper has two objectives. First, it explicates the story, initially
    portrayed by Eckart Förster, that philosophy allegedly started with publishing
    of Kant’s CPR and ended a quarter century later when Hegel’s Phenomenology of
    Mind appeared. We address the questions in what sense this happened and how is
    this development to be interpreted? Secondly, we demonstrate that similar radical
    transition from new, “true” beginning of philosophy to its apparent finishing
    took place in two other, high profile occasions in the history of Western philosophy,
    in two key points of its development: in the years 390-365 bc, between the early
    and the late Plato, and between 1898 and 1922, between Russell and Wittgenstein’s
    Tractatus. These three short-lived, spectacular transitions from philosophy’s
    alleged start to its alleged ultimate accomplishment give us good reason to speak
    about a specific 25-years principle in philosophy. In a peculiar way, this principle
    reveals philosophy’s true nature.'
