L'écriture de l'histoire de la philosophie occidentale n'est pas neutre : une Grèce prétendument fondatrice à l'exclusion des pensées qui la précèdent dans le temps, une domination idéaliste, notamment platonicienne, une tradition qui poursuit ce parti-pris avec le spiritualisme chrétien et l'idéal allemand - l'historiographie dominante est nettement platonicienne. Or, on peut proposer une contre-histoire de la philosophie qui se soucie d'un autre lignage : matérialiste, hédoniste, nominaliste, athée, sensualiste, empirique, etc. Et s'y inscrire avec le souci d'une pensée systématique.

Penser les ruines permet de penser les civilisations, et d'affronter avec discernement la dynamique de décadence qui s'impose au terme de 2000 ans de judéo-christianisme.

For the past century, the military has exercised its control over the citizens of Earth, having deceived the public of their true intentions for generations while the 2nd moon of Jupiter had been transformed into a prison planet where robot drone ships have been dumping their convicted criminals.
