Ladislav Hejdánek's letter to Jan Štern of Listy magazine, dated November 29, 1993, offers two potential texts for publication. The first is a lecture titled "Truth is Not Being" (or "On the Non-Being of Truth"), delivered in Berlin to a non-philosophical audience, which discusses truth as a non-existent entity. Although the topic is socially relevant, it is not directly political. The second text is an older essay from 1989, "The World of Theatre and the Signs of the Times," which is more political and philosophical and could evoke the atmosphere preceding the Velvet Revolution. Hejdánek offers to provide the texts on diskette or as a photocopy, suggesting their publication in the early issues of 1994. The letter also includes detailed points for the topic "On the Non-Being of Truth" and a brief reflection on the need for a new intellectual foundation for a unifying Europe, one that would not rely solely on the past and would require a reinterpretation of traditional concepts of truth.
