Devil<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan is a species-being, not only because he practically and theoretically makes the species \u2013 both his own and those of other things \u2013 his object, but also \u2013 and this is simply another way of saying the same thing \u2013 because he looks upon himself as the present, living species, because he looks upon himself as a universal and therefore free being.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx,\u00a0The Communist Manifesto<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo all those who still wish to talk about man, about his reign or his liberation, to all those who still ask themselves questions about what man is in his essence, to all those who wish to take him as their starting-point in their attempts to reach the truth, to all those who, on the other hand, refer all knowledge back to the truths of man himself, to all those who refuse to formalize without\u00a0anthropologizing, who refuse to mythologize without demystifying, who refuse to think without immediately thinking that it is man who is thinking, to all these warped and twisted forms of reflection we can answer only with a philosophical laugh \u2013 which means, to a certain extent, a silent one.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Michel Foucalt,\u00a0The Order Of Things<\/p>\n<p>This article is a response to an piece by the name same (get it?): Capitalism is killing the world\u2019s wildlife
