Philosophy

María Zambrano Alarcón (Málaga, 1904 - Madrid, 1991)

"The characteristic of man is to open a path - says María Zambrano - because by doing so he puts his being into exercise"

A method is a path, a path through which one begins to walk. The curious thing here is that the discovery of this path is not different from the action itself that must lead to the fulfillment of the person who performs it. The characteristic of man is to open a path, says Zambrano, because by doing so he exercises his being; man himself is the way.

The ethical action par excellence is to open the way, and this means providing a mode of visibility, since what is properly human is not so much seeing as giving to see, establishing the framework through which vision - a certain vision - is possible. Ethical action, then, as well as knowledge, since by drawing the frame a horizon opens, and the horizon, when it clears, provides a space for visibility.

Ernst Fischer (Austrian, 1899 - 1972)

In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.

Paul Kingsnorth - 2018 (English, 1972)

Something is wrong deep down in our civilization, in the growth and progress myths that we hold dear, and that is not going to change, because we prefer to fall asleep with false solutions, such as sustainability, just so as not to break with our lifestyle.
We must stop talking about the environment or nature, as if that is something separate from us, outside of ourselves, that we can stop, analyze and then control. Let us accept that we have gone too far, that our civilization is coming to an end. Yes, we are going to the abyss.

But the environmental movement is still waiting for us to save the world with some treaty or some clean technology. But they forget one thing: people don't want to hear the truth at all. And the greens? They have been encapsulated. Their fight against the continued destruction of the world through our unlimited consumption is now called 'sustainability', worse: CO2 reduction. While we all feel that there is a great fall. Our empire is being eroded from within.
"We live in a time of social, economic and ecological disintegration and we want to face this reality with honesty."

"We believe that the roots of these crises lie in the stories we tell ourselves: the myth of progress, the myth of man at the center of everything, and the myth of the separation between people and nature ".
" It attracts me more and more, the idea that there are at least small places where, the character, the beauty and the meaning of life remain." If I can protect one of them against devastation. That may be enough."

Art is a way of seeing the abyss in the eyes. As a form of shame processing.

Lev Nikoláievich Tolstói - 1887

In a letter dated 1887 to Romain Rolland, a French writer (Clamecy, Nièvre, January 29, 1866 - Vézelay, December 30, 1944). Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828 Yasnaia Polyana, Russia - 1910 in Astápovo) continued to present his ideas on art.
Only that has value, he said, that unites men; the only artist that counts is the artist who makes a sacrifice for his convictions. The precondition of all true calling must be, not love for art, but love for humanity. Those who are filled with such love can hope that sometime, as artists, they can do something worth doing.
