Philosophie - Philosophie du présent

The last ten decades have witnessed a great philosophical change. Humanity has moved towards absurdity, fragmentation, and nihilism. Hyper-reality and techno-culture have dominated the scene. The value of life has vanished. Humanity fell in a great depression. Capitalism has the upper hand. The aesthetics of art and literature have been substituted by the visual domination and Para-literary human activities, such as comics, electronic music, and the movies with strong visual effects. Thus, humanity needed a strong shock for restoring its creativity, simplicity, ability to evaluate beauty, and regarding the value of life itself. Here, it was the appearance of what Donald Trump has named the “Chinese virus” which has reconsidered the human mentality and philosophy.
