Abstract

According to Julia Kristeva, creator of the term «intertextuality» in 1967, all text appears as a mosaic of quotations. That indicates a reciprocal relationship and dependence between different texts/authors, so that several texts form the basis for a new one and so on. Since then there have been numerous studies and applications of intertextuality, especially in literary field. Systematic application of the method of intertextual analysis of philosophical texts are unknown. This article provides a brief theoretical discussion of intertextual analysis and then makes its application to selected texts by Martha Nussbaum, Max Horkheimer and Luitzen Brouwer.
