(Extract of Book "PLADESNIEKANT")
One of the topics in my work is the question: What effect do philosophical theories have on our reality - as it is today? We overlook a history of over 2000 years of philosophical thinking since PLATO/SOCRATES over DESCARTES, HUME, KANT, SCHOPENHAUER, NIETZSCHE, HEIDEGGER, SARTRE to SLOTERDJIK and HABERMAS. What do all these philosophers have in common?
They have in common that their apparent interest in the functioning of the World - as a whole - has definitely no priority. Neglected too are reasonable answers to some fundamental questions: How to live in peace, how to understand where we come from, where is the position of our Sun-system in the universe, why we do what we do, how can our species survive, why must everything turn worse and worse towards the end of the history of Homo sapiens? No: these topics were neglected by our philosophers. They mention them solely apart with an easy-going mind. However, what all these philosophers have in common is what I call in my work: "Human species in heaven - and the Earth in the Asshole". This anthropocentric view on humanity will cost the life of billions of people towards the end of our existence, before the bell will ring on 1st day of the year 2100. In fact, all our little-minded "experts" and "savants" have always put the almighty brains of human beings in the centre of their commentaries and they never really asked for the interest of other animals, the plants, air and water and the living system on Earth as a whole. The real mechanics of survival never were important to these men of genius.
