Rudeness Anarchism and Reality

Since Plato, philosophy has chosen to seek truth in concepts rather than reality; The worldly has always been seen as inadequate in the face of the designed attraction of the world of concepts. The result: the modern person who tries to escape from his own body and emotions, to purify himself, and who constantly strives to reach the pure, colorless, odorless, ideal beauty of concepts. In Rudeness, Anarchy and Reality, Sartwell shows us what happens when we open up from the abstract, sterile world of philosophy to the naked reality of life with its pain and evil. To festivity and love in a personal language we are not used to; Of course, he calls us to hatred and death, in short, to life, from the university chair, among the pages of his philosophy... Sartwell blends theses with the views of Nietzsche, Havel, Heidegger and Bataille; He listens to the traditions of Native Americans and the Far East. According to him, all moral values describe what should be; He says that what exists is incomplete and denies reality. Violation means saying "yes" to legislation. Because we understand what we are going through with our sins, crimes, fears and pain. The world exists with piss, shit and hatred as well as virtue and beauty. Hate as much as love is the truth of life; It deserves to be affirmed as it is and lived to the fullest. Sertwell defends rudeness. According to him, every dirty word or action invites the body. However, in the name of civilization, the body has been banned and suppressed; Its natural scents are drowned in perfumes and its activity is confined to closed rooms. By denying his limitations, the "civilized man" has turned into a person who is ashamed of his death, his emotions, and in short, himself. The state, which is one of the tools that "lock down" our lives, is both a lie and a liar. It is an organized gang of power and death. The laws and institutions of the state are elaborate blindfolds to hide the boots stuck to our throats. In post-totalitarian systems, the fundamental conflict is no longer between oppressor and oppressed. Every single human being is both the oppressor and the oppressed; The person has become "both a victim and a supporter of the system." The power is woven through everyone, one by one, and the individual begins to be oppressed by himself... In this provocative book, in which he attacks concepts and seriousness, Sartwell calls us to rudeness and play, that is, to life..." To those who want to go beyond Praise for Hell...
