Povzetek

Avtor podaja mnenje, da je filozofija dihanja doslej poudarjala empirično obliko dihanja na račun transcendentalne ali, če hočemo, izkoriščala dih kot priložnost za izničevanje ali dekonstrukcijo tega nasprotja. Dih se tako primarno pojmuje kot nekaj snovnega, telesnega in naravnega, kot nekaj, kar nas povezuje z živalmi in vsemi živimi bitji.

Ta na videz dobrohotna ekološka gesta pa ima tudi škodljive stranske učinke: če jo primerjamo z bolj humanistično in transcendentalno predstavo diha, ki jo je navdahnilo delo Giorgia Agambena o glasu, bomo morda jasneje uvideli moteči kontrast med pozitivnim vrednotenjem so-dihanja, ki zaznamuje to mlado filozofijo, ter veliko nenaklonjenostjo, celo sovražnostjo do diha drugega, kakršno je razviti svet izkazoval najmanj od leta 2020 do leta 2022.

Avtor v članku tehta, ali je k takšnemu preobratu vrednot morda prispevalo preveč empiristično pojmovanje diha in človeka, v sklepnem delu pa poziva k nekakšnemu zasuku k transcendentalni obliki diha in pravzaprav k določenemu človeškemu ekcepcionalizmu v tem pogledu.
