Abstract
This paper is about the basic characteristics of the pre-philosophical experience of the theory. The paper shows that the original meaning of the theory is inseparable from its religious-political context, and that the later philosophical meaning of the theory appears as a transformation of the original meaning of the theory as a pilgrimage aimed at observing the festival. Within the religious-political context, the paper shows the original experience of the theory in its threefold structure: leaving the known world (polis), traveling and observing the divine, and returning to the known world. The analysis shows that the experience of theory as a specific journey abroad implies a certain attitude of the observer – a certain ethos, and that viewing itself actually means staying within the region of the appearance of the divine that transforms the observer.
