In his work, Kant (1781) tries to understand how pure science (mathematics), aesthetics (concepts of beauty, harmony) and ethics (the idea of God, the soul, good and evil) exist.

In his work, Kant (1781) tries to understand how pure science (mathematics), aesthetics (concepts of beauty, harmony) and ethics (the idea of God, the soul, good and evil) exist. How is this possible if and since the existence of humanity is based on these concepts?
And what happens if Kant is abolished now in the 21st century? Come up with some kind of genders that abolish the science of genetics? To exhibit toilets and fire hydrants as works of art instead of images created by artists, canceling aesthetics?
Swap good and evil, lie, allow bestiality, pedophilia?
And here comes this Civilization, presenting itself as successful, beautiful, the smartest and richest, with a bunch of fans and imitators. But inside it has already burned out, there is emptiness, ash, decay.
Money and the tricks of specialists no longer help to make up, hide the process of disintegration.
But she does not want to believe in a sad end, she is still so young, beautiful. Is it really the end?
