1.3. Introduction to parafication

( some moments of reality )

The humanistic physics

Let´s go back.
Schiller′s thoughts on "aesthetic education" are a caesura in philosophy, since the end in itself of art is abolished in his thoughts for the frst time. Art is now the means to change. The poet′s basic idea is the path to freedom via beauty, the transformation of the "state of necessity" into a moral "state of reason". 

The New Village Project is an experience based on the decision to live in an old house in a 
lonely and abondend area. Where no one wants to live anymore, where the villages are abandoned 
because the young want - and have to flee into bigger cities. The project here documents moments.
       Moments of reality and imagination. Of past and tomorrow. It is about happiness and fear.
It is about the pure joy of hearing the sound of silence which is full of the busy sound of the 
vibrating insects. The joy of the different colours of the sunset. 

       And it is the joy of smelling the wind.
	     Here in this wide landscape you still can see the traces of the Ice Age.

 

They call it paradise

The idea of the "noble savage" was rejected by his contemporaries. Especially since man was by nature burdened with original sin.
Rousseau asked how collective action guided by normal instinct can become possible in societies determined by competition. And he assumed that in the state of nature, people live in small communities essentially independent of each other. They have sufficient goods and are peaceful. Well, this was long ago.

Today´s narrative is a parafiction. All the little life stories are arbitrary. The time of parafication.
