"This is where the decline of public truth comes in, so that the sense of the end of politics that we are experiencing today was already perfectly clear to Nietzsche, who spoke of the end of great politics. When Europe realizes the violence inherent in the Western political project, everyday life also loses its certainties. Forms, places, structures, and institutions go mad. [...] We no longer believe that the West, with its conceptual apparatus, is the destiny of the world. At this point, it would be natural for a dialogue to begin again between different cultures that once had a common stock."
