Tragedy shows what is perishable, what is fragile, and what is slow moving about us. In a world defined by relentless speed and the unending acceleration of information flows that cultivate amnesia and an endless thirst for the short-term future allegedly guaranteed through worship of the new prosthetic gods of technology, tragedy is a way of applying the emergency brake. Tragedy slows things down by confronting us with what we do not know about ourselves: an unknown force that unleashes violent effects on us on a daily, indeed often minute-by-minute basis. — Simon Critchley, Tragedy, the Greeks, and us (2019)

Our culture abhors the world. Yet quicksand is swallowing the duelists; the river is threatening the fighter: earth, waters, and climate, the mute world, the voice less things once placed as a decor surrounding the usual specta cles, all those things that never interested anyone, from now on thrust themselves brutally and without warning into our schemes and maneuvers. They burst in on our culture, which had never formed anything but a local, vague, and cosmetic idea of them: nature. What was once local-this river, that swamp-is now global: Planet Earth. — Michel Serres, The Natural Contract (1994)

No. 1 Thoreau kills Buddha · download [184 KB]

We might try our lives by a thousand simple tests; as, for instance, that the same sun which ripens my beans illumines at once a system of earths like ours. If I had remembered this it would have prevented some mistakes. This was not the light in which I hoed them. The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment! Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another? Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another’s experience so startling and informing as this would be. — Henry David Thoreau, Walden; or, Life in the Woods (1854)

Ich befinde mich in einem öffentlichen Park. Nicht weit von mir sehe ich einen Rasen und längs des Rasens Stühle. Ein Mensch geht an den Stühlen vorbei. Ich sehe diesen Menschen, ich erfasse ihn gleichzeitig als einen Gegenstand und als einen Menschen. Was bedeutet das? Was will ich sagen, wenn ich von diesem Gegenstand behaupte, daß er ein Mensch sei? — Sartre, Das Sein und das Nichts, S. 457
