'Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness' is the best-known phrase from the Declaration of Independence, one of the most important documents of the eighteenth century and the whole Enlightenment Age.

Robert Musil: Über die Dummheit Ein Vortrag, gelesen von Moritz Brendel. Robert Musil hält seinen legendären Vortrag Über die Dummheit erstmals gehalten auf Einladung des österreichischen Werkbunds am 11. März 1937 in Wien – auf den Tag genau ein Jahr vor dem Anschluss Österreichs an Nazi-Deutschland. In seiner Rede formuliert er das Paradox der Dummheit, "dass jeder, der über Dummheit sprechen oder solch einem Gespräch mit Nutzen beiwohnen will, von sich voraussetzen muss, dass er nicht dumm sei und also zur Schau trägt, dass er sich für klug halte, obwohl es allgemein für ein Zeichen von Dummheit gilt, das zu tun!"

Bandes, zentrale Gedanken seiner Philosophie weiter vertieft und um mehr als nur perspektivische Facetten bereichert.

La civiltà del capitalismo assoluto, che basa il suo dominio sul nichilismo relativista e sulla volontà di potenza tecnoscientifica, non solo non ha più bisogno di affidarsi, come un tempo, alla religione quale strumento di potere: deve necessariamente promuoverne l'estinzione.
