In On Doubt, Vilém Flusser refines Martin Heidegger’s recognized statement that “language is the living of Being.” For Flusser, “the be aware is the living of being,” simply because in truth, at the start, there has been the observe.

On Doubt is a treatise at the human mind, its relation to language, and the reality-forming discourses that to that end emerge. For Flusser, the religion that the trendy age locations in Cartesian doubt performs a task just like the one who religion in God performed in earlier eras—a religion that should be challenged. Descartes doubts the realm via his proposition cogito ergo sum, yet leaves doubt itself untouched as indubitable and imperious. His cogito ergo sum can have proved to the Western mind that techniques exist, however it didn't end up the life of that which thinks: you'll be able to dispose of considering and but proceed being.

Therefore, may still we now not doubt doubt itself? should still we no longer try and transcend this final step of Cartesian doubt and search for a brand new religion? the 20th century has obvious many makes an attempt to defeat Cartesian doubt, even though, this doubt of doubt has as a substitute generated a whole lack of religion, which the West studies as existential nihilism. consequently, the emergent emptying of values that effects from such severe doubt. every thing loses its that means. Can this weather be conquer? Will the West live to tell the tale the trendy age?
