Facing the crisis of ecological and human sensibility, finding the ability to coexist with all things
"The human way of life only makes sense when it is intertwined with the thousands of other ways of life that exist in the animals, plants, bacteria, and ecosystems around us." - Baptiste. Mo Xizuo
The new generation of French philosopher Baptiste. During a trip to track migratory birds in North Africa, Baptiste Morizot encountered a group of old car enthusiasts passing through a valley and stopping to take selfies in nature. However, they only focused on the old car in front of them and completely turned a blind eye to the most lively, international and colorful animal "immigration" in the Mediterranean that was taking place above their heads.
This experience aroused his vigilance: We humans, as social primates, tend to instinctively pay more attention to our own kind. However, in contemporary times, under the circumstances where political economy and scientific rationality are extremely vigorous, the relationship between us and "nature", and between us and other living things, have become more and more antagonistic, two ends of the spectrum. And this is in Baptiste. Mo Xi's left eye is nothing less than a contemporary "crisis of sensibility" that urgently needs to be taken seriously.
Baptiste. As a philosopher, Mo Xizuo paid special attention to the relationship between human beings and all things in the world, and tried to propose a new philosophical perspective to rethink how humans, as a species, should coexist with other species. "The Secret of Life" consists of six philosophical essays, which combine ecological investigation and inner thinking. The hesitation and tenderness of life are buried under the firm and beautiful writing.
He once followed wolf tracks in the snow-covered mountains, and felt in the howling of wolves that he was involved in the common destiny of all life on earth. He also used the sponge, a primitive species, to reflect on our conceptual species' inexplicable worship of "evolution" and "evolution". He even asked whether it would be possible for humans, as a species camp, to create a "diplomat"-like identity to deal with other species and work together towards interdependent goals. For him, the meaning of "life" is that we must relearn how to see the world and see the existence of life that is as wonderful as us; and to gain this "seeing", we must change how we live and how we live together. method.
