"....Nature, its processes, and time-motion, come to be effectively 
occluded by a set of relations between humans (i. e. the cosmo-vision of 
moderns) that is singular, contingent, and therefore changeable but 
pretends to be universal, necessary, and therefore ultimate. Behind the 
anxiety of moderns to seize hold of a philosophy, one which is also ‘a 
formalist philosophy that distanced itself from a humanistic ethics of 
life, conceiving reason principally as theoretical, abstract, and 
formal,’ lies aggression. A predatory mimetic excess, a defensive 
mindset. Modernity/1492 indexes under its name/number ‘a real, concrete, 
singular, unique event… about which we have to discover its fundamental 
ontological structure, which pretends to impose itself as universal.’ 
Upon inspection, this fundamental ontological structure (ditto, a 
cosmo-vision, more than a cosmo-logy) turns out to be that of mastery: 
the violent force of ‘the claim of domination itself.’..."
