This text explores the philosophical concept of a subject's distance from objectivity, which the author interprets not as a simple spatial or psychological separation, but as a distance of level. According to the author, true distance is only possible through the differentiation of the original level of being and a subsequent emancipation that allows the subject to ascend to a higher level. This process is not an end in itself; while the resulting distance creates the necessary space for a critical grasp of objectivity, it simultaneously necessitates an immediate bridging of that gap. Distance is presented here as a fundamental dialectical moment that separates the subject from objectivity, yet through this very separation, it opens the path to a new, qualitatively different, and deeper access to reality. The author emphasizes that distance and access form an inseparable and dynamic whole where one conditions the other. The text reflects on the ontological and epistemological aspects of the relationship between the knowing subject and the known object within the broader process of intellectual transcendence.

[Odstup od objektivity a přístup k ní]
27. II. 52
Odstup (skutečný odstup) subjektu od objektivity je možný jen jako odstup úrovně. Takový odstup musí sice bezpodmínečně být založen na diferenciaci původní úrovně, ale proveden může být jedině emancipací pravého typu, tj. postoupením na vyšší úroveň. Distanci takto vzniklou je ovšem třeba ihned překlenout; odstup umožňuje, ale také nutí k přístupu.
