"In this book, I outline a "philosophy of warnings." This is not a new philosophy; philosophers have warned us about Being, God, and numerous other concepts related to our existence for centuries. However, it is the first time someone has systematically outlined what such a philosophy might entail. Warnings-not to be confused with predictions-are not meant to convince anyone but to invite us to reevaluate our priorities for the future."
"Isn't this what philosophy does? The ontological approach that distinguishes philosophy from other disciplines both addresses problems from a global perspective and also warns us of different disciplines' narrow focus. "This word Being," as Martin Heidegger once said, "serves as a warning to us," a warning that reality is not made merely of beings and that its truth is not exclusively what can be measured or verified."
A philosophy of warnings treats warnings as distinct from predictions and as invitations to reevaluate priorities for the future. Warnings have historically addressed fundamental concepts such as Being and God, and can be systematically framed to reveal neglected aspects of reality. The ontological approach situates problems in a global perspective and exposes the limits of narrower disciplinary focuses. Warnings emphasize that reality is not reducible to measurable entities and that truth extends beyond verification. Key figures underline that society, gender, and technology require critical rethinking to anticipate and respond to emergent threats and blind spots.
