Manifest der dritten Landschaft

What happens when purpose-driven programs, which just yesterday seemed to have an unquestionable timeless validity, suddenly disappear today with the typical abruptness characteristic of economic decisions? The shift to questions of this nature casts a whole series of still widely respected concepts in the anachronistic light of a metaphysics of virginity. The concept of nature as a historically resistant antithesis - that which has lost its natural place can no longer return - becomes inapplicable. What philosophy has understood under the concept of technology comes into constant contact with the consequences of its own genesis in the pursuit of its triumph. The action and dedication programs of politics and economics change and oscillate - to the same extent, the figure of the remainder, the abandoned or relinquished material, gains prominence.
