Freedom as an Event: Groundlessness as the Openness of the World

  • Źarko Paić

摘要

The author shows that freedom as an event is a condition for the possibility of the entire metaphysics and history of the West. As a fundamental driver of events, freedom must manifest itself in its three 'ontological' spatiotemporal ways of appearing in connection with chance and necessity, facticity and contingency, or also chaos and emergence. The first opens philosophy to the possibility of thinking beyond the reduction to myth, religion, art, and science, establishing its own autonomy in the age of the technosphere. The second is the one that has its own political meaning of action, determination and the creation of something new in history, starting from the idea of the sovereignty of the nation to a place in the post-imperial sovereignty of a large space (Gro§raum), as Carl Schmitt determines the place of the epoch of the nation-state in the history of the world and the transition to the form of imperial orders of power and their permanent struggle for rule over the territory of the Other. The third is the one that appears as the last sign of resistance against all forms of enslavement and the reduction of man to a thing-object-information within the system of posthuman rule, with homo cybernetes as the last form of the spiritual Being of the Human in general.
