Dinge pflegen - Dingpfleger werden!


DING des Monats (THING of the month) March 2009: sprachlos (speechless)

Many philosophers - perhaps in a moment of weariness and facing the lunatic thoughts of thousands of years - tend to ask themselves if philosophy could be reduced to one basic question. A surprising lot of them agreed about one question: "Why is there something rather than nothing?" Some advertisement writers might have reconciled this while searching something new, never seen, topping everything, reducing everything else to nothing and ended up in an inversion: not to praise what exists but what is absent – the void! And this just for selling purposes! They found poetic solutions, which leave us speechless, really.
