Stargazing in the dark: a little light in a dream

Disputes between humans and φύσις as one of the places of το όν: 1) Fox demon and peach fairy: In the fantasy of human beings in their childhood, gods appear through human awe and piety. In mythology, people can still step into that mysterious field; 2) Wind and snow, war: When human beings discover their hidden will and deep emotions, their spiritual existence is awakened. This is part of the nature of being human. However, the struggle between human will and nature has also produced its by-products—the struggle between man and his fellow human beings; 3) The world in paintings: Humans have discovered art, or, in other words, nature has reached human beings through art. The eternal moment of nature is framed as eternal by art, and a bridge between the finite and the infinite is established. With the help of art, human beings have opened up a world and entered into the openness where all beings belong together; 4) Nuclear leakage • Mount Fuji, the world of nuclear pollution: human beings began to dominate nature. The threat of nature to man becomes man's technical control of nature. When the harmony between man and nature breaks down, man loses its essence, and nature also disappears, leaving human beings to reap the consequences; the gods have long since been lost, and we have become our own "ghosts". 5) Xanadu as the source: Can we get rid of all the obscurity of modernity and return to the original simplicity and divinity? In playful games with nature, we are all but children. Do you want to light the oil lamp in your dream, sink into the sea together, or fly to another "planet"?

Dreams quotes

  • Nuclear Plant Worker: The red one is plutonium-239. 10,000,000th of a gram causes cancer. The yellow one in strontium-90. It gets inside you and causes leukemia. The purple one is cesium-137. It affects reproduction. It causes mutations. It makes monstrosities. Man's stupidity is unbelievable. Radioactivity was invisible, and because of its danger, they colored it. But that only lets you know which kind kills you.
