The Legitimacy of Being by Instrumental Reason: Weakness and Futility

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the suitability of the human mind , emancipated by the Enlightenment from any kind of natural or cultural dependence and reduced to instrumental reason, for grounding the meaningful world. It does this by revealing Being and giving (final) sense to it as well as to the Being related and ingeniously constructed human reality. It aims to approach the emerging weakness and futility of mathematically formalized intellectual structures. These mental models effectively simulate and liberate „natural“ processes taking place in reality but basically make the reality itself inaccessible. One goes in search for the answer to the question: „Do the effective advantages of reality-control and the opportunities for recreation outweigh the no less important loss of Being itself?”
