Abstract:The article claims that one of the most important tasks of thinking today is global warming. Can it be analyzed as another form of nihilism: not as nihilism of the meaning of life, but as a new kind of nihilism of human and nonhuman life itself? Could global warming be analyzed as a kind of “objective nihilism” tied to the active nihilism of humankind that causes it and to the passive nihilism of humankind that endures it, rather than acting against it? This article attempts to explain “the objective nihilism” of global warming with the help of Maurice Blanchot’s term “disaster,” by showing how it leads to the nihilistic attitudes of despair and indifference. It also asks how the lucidity of nihilism can be turned into a force.

Title:Ranjeno razmišljanje o ranjenem svetu : Nihilizem in globalno segrevanje
Abstract:Članek ugotavlja, da je ena najpomembnejših nalog današnjega razmišljanja globalno segrevanje. Ali ga lahko analiziramo kot še eno obliko nihilizma: ne kot nihilizem smisla življenja, temveč kot novo vrsto nihilizma človeškega in nečloveškega življenja samega? Ali lahko globalno segrevanje analiziramo kot neke vrste »objektivni nihilizem«, povezan z aktivnim nihilizmom človeštva, ki ga povzroča, in pasivnim nihilizmom človeštva, ki ga prenaša, namesto da bi ukrepalo proti njemu? Članek poskuša »objektivni nihilizem« globalnega segrevanja razložiti s pomočjo izraza »katastrofa« Mauricea Blanchota, tako da pokaže, kako vodi v nihilistično držo obupa in brezbrižnosti. Vprašanje je tudi, kako je mogoče osvetlitev nihilizma spremeniti v silo
Keywords:objektivni nihilizem, globalno segrevanje, svet, katastrofa, Maurice Blanchot
