“Principles focusing on equality and fairness, those are principles that we can't let go of.”
“In contrast to the inorganic thereness of lifeless matter, living beings are not mere appearances. To be alive means to be possessed by an urge toward self-display which answers the fact of oneâ€™s own appearingness. Living thingsÂ make their appearanceÂ like actors on a stage set for them.”
