I know you’re too tired, and maybe too scared for a revolution – after all, the prevalent system is designed for having us believe we are helplessly unable to change it. Let us be honest: a revolution is on the horizon, and a revolution is needed. You know it, I know it. Without one, this form of greed inspired capitalism will not only remain, but grow a tiny bit more monstrous, ever so slightly more inhumane every day. We cannot allow for a system to dominate our lives, which rewards the worst instincts in us, and promotes the most unscrupulous of us to the top. This way, things will never get better – instead, they will become worse. If we do not overcome our (perceived) helplessness and tire, if we do not find the courage and strength to intervene, if we to do not do something – we will remain in the stranglehold of an asymmetrical financial system, and under the spell of a tiny fraction of extremely rich, powerful and influential people. There are alternatives – never believe anyone claiming there is none. The ideas are out there – they are right here, on this very site. I invite you to help yourself, and all those dear to you – and in the end, even the whole of humanity. For example, by spending five minutes with the intro article of this site you can see below. What could be more important, than take on the fight for a better tomorrow – for ourselves, our loved ones, our children? I'd like to ask you to move forward,, to join, I ask you to participate, and not remain dormant. Not remain helpless. Not remain uninformed and hence impotent. Simply by reading a few articles on this site, you may discover what is absolutely possible for a better future.
Philosophy at the university: the bureaucratic fiction I was studying philosophy and physics, when the new German system of higher education was first rolled out; when we moved away from diplomas, towards the international standard of Bachelor and Master. In fact, the transition fell right in the middle of my studies. In typical German fashion,…
Beyond establishing a democracy as form of government, with personal freedom and rights, elections and so forth, the economic system should have seen a democratization as well. It is time for a plan to establish a democratic economy, but not enough people care – most don’t even understand the concept of a democratic economy. So…
In 1999, Francis Fukuyama famously proclaimed “the end of history”: through a synergy of peace, democracy and capitalism, a strong sociological fabric was created, that mankind had never experienced before. An explosion of a global middle class, with constantly rising quality of life, followed in the decades after World War II. Many thought that this…
Paradoxa üben eine gewisse Faszination aus: der sehr einfache Satz “Ich lüge” führt zu einem unauflösbaren Widerspruch: sage ich die Wahrheit, bedeutet das, der Satz ist wahr – demnach lüge ich also. Ist der Satz falsch, ist er gelogen, und bestätigt durch seine Aussage die eigene Wahrheit. Wie man das Blatt wendet oder dreht –…
Analytische Philosophie heutzutage ist arbeitsteilig. Gerade dies ist das Generalkriterium der Abgrenzung gegen andere (d.h. kontinentale) Philosophie: Während die kontinentale Tradition Weltanschauungen vergleichend untersucht und entwickelt, und somit immer den Blick auf das Ganze des Denkens richtet, versucht die analytische Tradition arbeitsteilig Sachfragen aufzuklären und systematisch zu erfassen … https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytische_Philosophie Meines Erachtens nach hat der Umstand, dass sich der große Strom…
