Запись от Про искусство размещена 13.09.2013 в 09:52
Yesterday I attended a presentation of the fantastic new book "The Future ." In some ways, I agree with the author , in some ways no . It was nice to hear the ideas I expressed in a series of articles a few years. The book "The Future" and its publication in the social network is largely correspond to the principles I have described the book of the future. I managed to ask a few questions the fantastic , to which he answered in detail , calling me at this competitor.
"The Future" is the fantastic book about how people will be able to cancel the old age, how it will change after that. The book is about a happy world without sickness and death, without God and the church, without love and family, without children and the elderly . The novel is set in Europe XXIV century , after three years after the invention of " vaccine " - drug that can stop the aging process .
« In Europe , the plot of " The Future ", immortality is included in the basic benefits package . Everyone who is born in Europe, has the right to eternal youth. In Russia, the situation is quite different: despite the fact that " vaccination against old age" was created precisely in Russia , the immortality of the people here have not trusted . Eternal youth had been usurped by the ruling elite. As a result, the average length of life of ordinary Russians is thirty years since the Stone Age , but the country is ruled by a few centuries later, the same people who ruled it in the early twenty -first century ... »
The idea of immortality is one of the the most attractive and viable in culture. She was the subject of many myths and artistic works. In the famous play " The Makropulos Affair " people got the cure for death, and then did not know what to do with it . Mephistopheles offers Faust immortality in exchange for his soul! Faust agrees at first , and then bitterly regrets .
The idea of immortality - the temptation or trial ?
As a child, I was struck by a science fiction story in which it was assumed that scientists have discovered a cure for immortality. At first, people lined up for the medicine for immortality , and then came the turn of the cure for immortality.
Do people immortality ?
according to the Bible , the man was first created in the image and likeness of God , that is immortal. It was only as a result of the Fall, Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden and became mortal . It is assumed that the gene giving complete regeneration of cells was slightly distorted , whereby the total cell recovery was not possible.
In the Gospel in the " Apocalypse " is said that the bodies of all the dead will be resurrected on Judgment Day to further immortal existence.
Russian philosopher Nikolai Fedorov in his " Philosophy of the common cause" put a very real problem of the resurrection to immortal life ever died on the ground.
A recently read , as if in twenty years, scientists discover gene immortality and eternal life will become a reality. But if you really immortality becomes a reality , it will inevitably begin sharing with those who are worthy of becoming immortal and who is not worthy .
In the novel, Ivan Efremov "Hour of the Ox " shows the civilization in which the life granted depending on social status. It used to it , and even happy that they got a short life - live fast and die young!
« According to the plot of the novel " The Future " is the discovery of immortality in Russia , - said Dmitry Gluhovskij . - But while in Europe , where there is genuine socialism and equality, becomes immortal everyone who is born in this country do not trust the people of immortality . And it remains at the disposal of the power elite . Therefore, people who ruled the country at the beginning of the XXI century (conditionally cooperative "Lake" ), these same people remain in power 300-400 years later. Do not change : the same oligarchy itself , the same ministers . Sometimes, the Minister of Railways is something else , but to just say goodbye, this does not happen . And even Serdyukov 's probably in there somewhere ... I think all of a sudden , it just reflects a situation . "
« In this country die of natural causes, political leaders, it is our blessing, - says Dmitry Gluhovskij . - So this is our own whip , but on the other hand it is a great blessing . Because Stalin did not die from a stroke or Leonid Ilyich of total exhaustion of its old age, would we still have the Soviet Union , and we would have been under Leonid Brezhnev or Stalin . Because these people do not volunteer would go nowhere. And I'm sure that Vladimir Vladimirovich too basically not going anywhere . Although the carcass , though chuchelko , he wants to continue to run our country with you happy . If immortality is opened during his lifetime , it is necessary to bring down now . "
But in the mythology of immortality is viewed more as a curse . Ahasuerus was so damned - The Eternal Jew - a Jew mythological craftsman , past the house which led to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Wandering Jew refused and pushed Jesus when he asked permission to lean against the wall of his house to rest. During this Ahasuerus was condemned to wander the earth until the Second Coming and the everlasting contempt of the people.
Closely related to Ahasuerus is the legend of Prometheus , eternally torment the bird of prey , and the legend of Cain , who was convicted as the Wandering Jew , to eternal wandering the earth , and the legend of the Flying Dutchman and Tannhäuser . Cursed by the eternal existence of a blacksmith forged nails for Christ , and doomed forever forge them . Condemned to eternal wandering Judas Iscariot .
But the worst was the immortality of Sisyphus , who was punished by the fact that I had ever wheel in stone on the hill, and the stone rolled down from the top .
Albert Camus in his essay "The Myth of Sisyphus " proved conclusively what flour can be immortal if it is not full of meaning .
Mikhail Bulgakov 's novel " Master and Margarita" makes Pontius Pilate immortal, alone watching the stars and cursing his immortality and his glory.
In the famous film "Highlander" main character is also immortal . But he does not remind us of Faust , as not suffering from immortality.
Immortality - a gift or a curse?
Sometimes it seems that the value of human life is exaggerated .
Man was created mortal, because he is tired of life and wants to die.
desire to die just as natural as the desire to live .
In Milton's "Paradise Lost" tells why people become mortal .
Our planet - one of the worlds that people should cultivate by mortals , so not very tired .
Some are willing to sell his soul for the possibility of personal immortality . Although ... and immortality lies in our soul !
Than threatens immortality? Queue for death?
Do all people accustomed to the fear of death , eternal life ?
No need for man to be tied to the land, to his family, to the house, valued purchased , as well as the joys that gives him daily .
Is not it terrible eternal life filled with love? It's like eating only sweet. Happiness without tears and pain is not perceived.
« Death is included in the program of life. If there were no death , there would be no life, " - said the Nobel Laureate Robert Horvitz , who discovered the mechanism of cell suicide .
attitude to death is an indication of the nature of civilization.
For the current secularized Western societies death is a tragedy , since the purpose of life - enjoying . And for some Eastern religions death is the joy of the transition to a new life .
death is understood in terms of a functional understanding of life itself, and not as some unfathomable mystery of the transcendent .
Death is not the absence of life , and its completion .
Objectively, the meaning of death in newness of life . However, for a person is more important than his own meaning of life and the meaning of his death.
With objective scientific point death is the regulator and the organizer of life. All organisms in a supportive environment multiply exponentially. This powerful " head of life" (an expression of VI Vernadsky ) very quickly turned to the terrestrial biosphere in the teeming organisms clot .
Socrates said : Philosophy is the science of dying . Since we do not know what death is , it is illogical to fear . In his speech at the trial , Socrates said, " So what if death - a dream , then I would at least consider it a blessing . If death is the transition from this world to the other, and if it's true what they say , as if there are all dead before we wise and holy men , would not be more than the benefit in order to live there with these creatures ? »
Sigmund Freud in " Eros and Thanatos" proved that people are not only committed to life, but it is present and the death drive , and these two opposing drives connected.
In " We and death" Freud writes: " At heart, we do not believe in his own death ." "If you want to be able to endure life , prepare for death."
Friedrich Nietzsche proclaimed the " death of God ", and with it the traditional values of modern civilization. " Many die too late, and some - too early. Another strange sound doctrine : " die time! " Die Another time - thus teaches Zarathustra . Of course, who has never lived in time , how could he die in time? He would have been better never to be born ! - So I advise more than men. "
After the " death of God ", Albert Camus believed , people panic , because the emptiness inside Nothing found . Rebelling against the Nothing , man falls into absurdity, that it is impossible to overcome or through murder or through suicide. In the essay "The Myth of Sisyphus, " Camus proved conclusively what flour can be immortal if it is not full of meaning .

Jean Baudrillard recognizes that the current era casts death as an anti-social phenomenon , but it itself becomes nekroorientirovannoy . "Our whole culture - is one continuous effort the separated by life and death , to curb the ambivalence of death , replacing it with a mere reproduction of life as a value and time as the universal equivalent ."
The French philosopher Jacques Derrida in "The Gift of Death" death - it is the only existential situation , which manifests itself with the greatest degree of subjectivity. Death sharpens sense of identity , and irreplaceable . Death becomes the gift of finding oneself and one's true nature. However , the death sharpens the sense of responsibility for themselves and for their own exit from life .
To paraphrase Jacques Darridu , who said that " there is nothing but text ," you can say, " there is nothing but death! " death - the only indisputable fact.
The book by Vladimir Yankelevich "Death" states: " It may be that death - the edge of the world beyond, crashed into a wedge in the local world ?»
Val Jean in " metaphysical treatise ," writes " Without death, life does not deserve to have to live it . Damn life without death ! Life-giving death gives meaning to life and painting of the death ».
I recently participated in a conference of philosophers devoted to the meaning of death. And I asked this question to all the participants of the conference.
Can a person live without an answer to the question what is the meaning of his life. It can. But it would hardly be human existence to the fullest.
Socrates , Diogenes , Plato , Descartes , Spinoza , and others associated with the notion of the meaning of life benefits .
Aristotle believed that the goal of all human action is happiness, which is to implement the human essence. "What is the meaning of life? To serve others and to do good . "
Epicurus proclaimed the goal of human life having fun , understood not only as a sensual pleasure , but also as a deliverance from physical pain , mental anxiety, suffering, fear of death. His ideal - a life in " a safe place ", in a close circle of friends , non-participation in public life , a distant contemplation.
According to the teachings of the Cynics , the ultimate goal of human aspirations is a virtue ( happiness ) , and virtue is the ability to be content with little , and avoid evil. One has to become independent from the external world, which is unstable and impervious to it , and must strive to inner peace .
According to the teachings of the Stoics , the soul of man is immortal , and virtue is living in harmony with nature and the universal reason ( logos ) . Stoic ideal of life - calmness and serenity in relation to internal and external irritants .
Arthur Schopenhauer believed : people think that they have done on their own, but in fact they are driven by "the world will." Being unconscious , the world will absolutely indifferent to their creations - the people who tossed it casually to their evolving circumstances. Life is hell - in which the fool chasing pleasures and comes to disappointment , as the wise man , on the contrary , tries to avoid trouble through self-restraint - wise living person is aware of the inevitability of disaster , and therefore restrains his passions and sets a limit to their desires.
Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard believed that life is full of absurdity and a person should create their own values in an indifferent world.
Friedrich Nietzsche believed that the purpose of life is to prepare the Earth to the emergence of a superman. Nietzsche did not accept Christianity because it removes the sense of earthly life , concentrating instead on the alleged afterlife .
pragmatist philosopher William James was convinced that the truth can not be found, but it can be created , and therefore the meaning of life - a belief in the purpose of life, which does not contradict someone else's experience meaningful life . " The meaning of life are the goals that make you appreciate it."
The French philosopher Jean -Paul Sartre believed that " the meaning of life does not exist, I would have to create it yourself ... If we must die , our life has no meaning , because its problems remain unresolved and uncertain value itself problems ... We invent values. Apriori life has no meaning . This is the meaning we create it ».
German philosopher of the twentieth century, Martin Heidegger believed :" The meaning of life can never be put in opposition to existence or being as a reference " ground " that exists , for " base " becomes available only as meaning, even though it will be deep sense of loss . "
Martin Heidegger in his book " Being and Time " wrote: "Time" is standing next to a "place " and " movement ».
Kant pointed "Time is nothing but a form of inner sense , that is, the contemplation of ourselves and of our internal state ...»
Prigogine thought : " time takes its true meaning associated with the irreversibility or even with the" history "of the process
