Summary/Abstract: The challenge facing reflections (also anthropological ones) is not so much the “world next to us” as the increasingly universal (and outrageous) conviction that it is we who live more and more next to world. The author of this text intends to provoke the reader to ponder the paradox of the crisis (vision) of the world in an era of progressing globalisation eclipsing all ideas and worlds. The sources of this conflict-provoking paradox are disclosed upon the basis of conceptions expounded by Heidegger, Nancy, et al., as a consequence of a destruction of key concepts. The author maintains that his text does not propose a new world outlook but is to inspire a change in the way of thinking so that it would become possible to discern in global alienation some hope-stirring examples of post-secular existence.
