I've been reading more philosophy lately and something that stood out is that human-centric views, masked behind "welfare of mankind" has long-term consequences. The are much larger problems such as deforestation, animal extinction, pollution, that human-centric views are responsible for. Take into account that we now have 8 billion people and human rights seems like a worldview that's preventing any real sustainability.
- ricc 7y agoCan you share to me your resources about this topic? I would love to read them because I had a similar train of thought during one of my personal “meditations”[0] but I was not able to follow up on it. [0]: fancy term for doing nothing but stare into the distance and think about things
- GrayTextIsTruth 7y agoSorry didn’t see this. -“Biocentric Worldview” by Ludwig Klages -“Can life Prevail” by Pentti Linkola -“This Spoke Zarathustra” and “The Antichrist” by Nietzsche If you want some spirituality the “On Being Pagan” by Alain De Benoit Mostly about loving Life as opposed to just loving humans. Nietzsche and Klages see Christianity (and Abrahamic religions in general) as contributing to that change of worldview in Europeans.
