如果起源像德里达所暗示的那样复杂和令人不安,那么我们可能会问当前的人类环境困境:什么样的星球诞生了能够做这些事情的生物?沿着地球缝合线和断层线,生物生命可能最为活跃。但火也是如此。如果人类是火种,那么这里就是火星球。从“推测地球物理学”的角度来看,我们的燃烧习惯至少可以说明火在将一个难以驾驭且差异化的星球焊接在一起时所起的根深蒂固的作用,就像它们对我们自己的任何异常现象的说明一样。
If origins are as complex and perturbing as Derrida suggests, then we might ask of the current anthropic environmental predicament: what kind of planet is it that gives birth to a creature capable of doing such things? Biological life may be at its liveliest along the earth's sutures and fault-lines. But so too is fire. If humans are a fire species, then this is a fire planet. From the point of view of a ‘speculative geophysics’, our combustive habits may say at least as much about the deep-seated role of fire in welding together a fractious and differentiated planet as they do about any aberration on our own part.
