The End of Reality| Stephy Publishers

Abstract
In this article, I argue that in the age of neoliberal (postindustrial)
globalization human relations to the environment have been “enframed” by
capitalist ideology leading to the end of reality and the rise of human
worldviews and ethos based on overconsumption and resource exhaustion as the
determinants of existence over and against the environment and nature. Identity
politics, the reification and commodification of (serial) identity practices,
cultures, and “all of the accoutrements of the economy of spectacle and the
manufacturing of images and fetish desires,” on the one hand, and the
continuous atomization of the human subject in (neo) liberalism on the other
are mechanisms for creating surplus-value and continuing capitalism’s
domination over the world in the era of climate change. These two dialectical
practices represent two fascist attempts to perpetuate capitalist relations of
production and accumulate surplus value amidst its deleterious effects on all
life on earth due to climate change, resource exhaustion, and pollution. I
conclude the work by calling for an antihumanist philosophy and psychology with
emphasis on subsistence living and maintaining a balance between nature and the
environment as keys to planetary and human survival in the age of climate
change.
