Abstract
This essay rehearses the notion that exiting the Anthropocene has as a condition leaving behind metaphysics as the dominant mode of thought. It dwells on Reiner Schürmann’s idea of the anarchic practical subject as the subject of antiphilosophy, and it posits antiphilosophy as the locus for a possible meontological thinking of another beginning, using the Heideggerian theme. It examines positions such as Bernard Stiegler’s and Jean-Luc Nancy’s on the possibility of an affirmative nihilism and considers Martin Heidegger’s determination of the “first inception” of philosophy in the West in the work of Heraclitus and Parmenides. It belabors infrapolitics as the pain or dis-turbance of the loss of the politics of modernity as a productive possibility. And it calls for a militant and belligerent practice of anarchic and antihybristic thought in our present.
