[qq]In other words, history should advance, and yet we seem to be stuck. [/qq]

In my country at least, I think we are advancing. In the last 100 years we've come a long way in terms of racial equality, gender equality, and we're getting there with equality for homosexuals. Technology has brought drastic changes in almost all parts of life. Advances in science have led to huge improvements in quality of life and lifespan. We're in a rapidly changing world, and I think maybe philosophy has yet to absorb all those changes, but it will.

Many people are also abandoning religion from what I see, which is certainly a good thing. Getting away from "spiritual" and moving towards reality is always a good thing.

[qq]Basically, it is the emancipation, the realization of human life. In other words, the function is to end with the alienated work: Through alienated work, man bnecomes alienated too, and find himself idolatrizing what he created. I can't see how that is good.[/qq]

I don't know what alienated work means. Does it mean doing a job for which you feel no pride?

[qq]Actually, in my experience, what most people believe in is getting entretained and obtaning a good job and lots of money. If you call that an ideology...[/qq]

I do call it an ideology, albeit one I think is bad. I know many people who have better ideologies than that.

[qq]You can't see the dehumanization arround you? It's not any great plan or conspiracy by anyone, it is the society that has developed. You wish for examples of dehumanization and alienation? I don't think I should bother to type any, but in case you wish me to, I will. I mean, it's arround you.[/qq]

I'd like some examples, sure. I treat everyone as an individual, and I tend to be treated as one. Do you mean things like being identified by a number? Like all the computer-automated things we go through instead of person-to-person communication? I'm not sure what you mean.

[qq] *points at Kant text he linked to*[/qq]

Haven't had time to read all the stuff you linked to, I'll have to try that once I get a chance. Although reading Kant is like being stabbed in the eye with a pin, in my experience.

I thought the MB did, sorry.
