About the book: year / Three essays by Wolfgang Gigerich, one of the most outstanding modern philosophers. Each of them highlights in a different way the shift that Christianity has wrought in the world. Unlike many “Christians” who accuse the “modern world” of all mortal sins, thereby either recognizing the death of Christianity (in the Middle Ages? - but “the gates of hell will not prevail”), or reducing it to “otherworldliness” (knocking it out of reality - while Christ came precisely to reality - “modern”), or taking a fundamentalist position (scandalously accusing Christianity of the “apostasy” of the modern world - after all, “modernity” is nothing more than a place formed by the Good News - " traditional", i.e. after all, pagan cultures, cultures that do not know the News, turn out to be more pleasant to such “Christian” critics of modernity), Gigerich sees that modernity is entirely a product of two thousand years of reading the Gospel. ROCKET AND LAUNCHING PAD or The Leap from the Imaginary into External Space , called "reality". Starting from the flight to the Moon (Gigerich, as it were, responds to the stupidity - Khrushchev about Gagarin, “who flew into space, but did not see God” - understanding it in a naive, foolish way) he derives the very concept of “reality”, “factuality” - the basis of such a fundamental for us, that we do not see it - from the absolute FACT of the resurrection of Christ, Christ represents the zero point of reality, the first fact that made it possible to emerge from the pagan murk, thereby - among other things - creating the possibility of science, technology - rockets. TIME PRODUCTION repeats the train of thought of “Rocket and Launch Pad”, but in connection with time, the linear time of history, modernity. EXIT FROM THE STREAM OF EVENTS: OCEAN AND BLOOD CIRCULATION is dedicated to the Christian gesture of liberation of the subject from the Stream of Things, expressed historically in the rejection of the mythologies of Okeanos and the emergence of (scientific) blood circulation concepts.
