In my contribution to the 4th Editon of Mathes&Seitz' magazine DRITTE NATUR, I philosophically examine the notion of the world's end and it's contemporary eco-apocalyptic variants as in "5 to 12"-rhetorics. With the help of Donna Haraway, Eduardo Viveiro de Castro and Deborah Danowski I argue that we need to develop a philosophical reasoning behind the end of the world. In getting rid of the end of the world as a unitary concept, we can develop a pluralized and more inclusive philosophy of many worlds, reasonings, sciences and natures that form a patchy chaosmology beyond the apocalyptic Anthropocene. This point is illustrated with examples from nuclear semiotics & current eco-capitalist politics of attempting to save the Alpine glaciers and Danube river banks via geo-engineering the otherwise crumbling Status Quo into an "everlasting" zombie.
The text is printed in German in the DRITTE NATUR and can be (partly) read and ordered here. An English translation will appear in the TOXIC TEMPLE-Book, to be released in April 2022.
