Nowadays, the nuclear arsenal counts on thousands of nuclear warheads. The power of one of these bombs, comparatively, is equivalent to the destructive capacity that showed all the conventional weapons in all wars combined that have happened throughout history. Man has the capacity of burst the crust of the earth with the armament that possesses, and the explosion of several nuclear bombs jointly could create, eventually, the so-called nuclear winter, which would return to Earth to the ice age. To all this, the current situation adds a serious problem: the nuclear weapons are not in possession of a single country as it was at the end of the World War Two, neither we live in a bipolar world, like was in the decades of the fifty nor sixty -where United States and the former Soviet Union disputed the hegemony, but that several countries have them. And some countries, with poorer economies, have developed chemical weapons and biological comparable with the previous in their destructive power. All this type of weapons could well destroy the complete population of the Earth more than forty times.
Before this panorama, the philosophical status of man in our time has no major difference in comparison to the times of Descartes, the bridge between the subject and the object is not set yet. This signifies that the contemporary man not even is convinced of the existence of his own feet; less persuaded he has to be of the existence of the other.
