Abstract

“What we perceive is not reality but just reactions of our brains. There is one reality but its representation in different brains is different. The more different the brains are, the more different the representations.”
John Locke

“(…) real is simply electrical impulses interpreted by your brain.” 1
Morpheus to Neo, “Matrix”

In the world of the Anthropocene, 2 the world ruthlessly altered by man, in which the processes that take place often get out of hand, our vision of the world is incomplete and unpredictable but if we indulge our unfettered imagination, then at least we have the opportunity to broaden our and others’ horizons – the field of vision.

Dipesh Chakrabarty was one of the first humanities researchers who discussed the term “Anthropocene” in his article titled “The climate of history: four theses”. The term was proposed by Paul J. Crutsen and Eugene F. Stoermer (2000) to name a new geological era in which mankind is the main geological factor. Chakrabarty asks: “how the way we think about human history should change at a time of rapid and irreversible climate change”. He analyses the assumptions of classical historiography and the latest work on global warming and concludes that “in the face of negative climate change it is necessary to complement the global history of capitalism with the specific history of humanity” (http:// tekstydrugie.pl/auth/dipesh-chakrabarty/ (accessed on 28/06/2019)
