Human Existence and Coexistence in the Epoch of Nihilism
Menschliche Existenz und Koexistenz in der Epoche des Nihilismus
Človeška eksistenca in koeksistenca v epohi nihilizma
The 2nd Congress of the International Centre for the Study of Contemporary Nihilism “Human Existence and Coexistence in the Epoch of Nihilism” is dedicated to reflecting on the relationship between humanism and nihilism, which nowadays – especially under the influence of scientific-technological progress and global social conditions – is mostly approached from the perspective of post-humanism. Since we are witnessing the violence of dehumanisation all over the world, such a perspective proves to be theoretically and practically inadequate.
At the same time, it should be stressed that the epochal experience of nihilism is not only a consequence of the many social crises that we are facing in the contemporary world and the psychopathologies that these crises generate, but it fundamentally predetermines them at an existential and coexistential level. In all human agency, in all that we advocate as ‘cultural growth’, ‘social development’, ‘rise of education’, ‘creative excellence’ ‘scientific and technological progress’, ‘open markets’, ‘democratic rights and freedoms’, along with ‘belief in God’, the question of how man fulfils himself in his humanity has become problematic today in a way that is perhaps historically unprecedented.
This, of course, raises further questions about the value foundations on which human agency is based, as well as about interpersonal communication and the relationship to the common life-world. In various academic, cultural and political forums, the need to develop a universally valid ethics that overcomes the devaluation of the meaning of humanity and makes possible a new humanisation is often mentioned. However, any effort to establish ethical responsibility more consistently in social reality is in itself insufficient if it does not respond to the nihilistic challenge that pervades the contemporary world as a whole, and not just its individual occurrences.
