Philosopher Mark Taylor on the survival of humanity: why we must change.
According to Vox:
Mark C. Taylor is a philosopher, cultural critic, and author of the book 'After the Human.' This massive, sometimes mind-bending book moves from Hegel to quantum physics, grounding ethics and fungi. It contains hand-drawn diagrams and photographs of soil, discussions of philosophy and the history of technology, and everyday problems such as too many books on the shelves.
In an interview, Mark C. Taylor speaks about the importance of changes in our contemporary understanding of humanity and the world, emphasizing that ideas can save us. He stresses the need to expand our notions of mind and consciousness, understand the interconnections of all living things, and prove the importance of the planet to abandon self-destruction. Taylor also hopes for the ability of many people to see the beauty and fragility of life in the face of its limitations.
In this interview, the philosopher emphasizes the necessity to rethink our notions of humanity and the surrounding world. He points out that understanding the interconnection of all living things, as well as the importance of nature and the planet in the contemporary world, should help us avoid self-destruction and more deeply understand the essence of human existence.
