Eccentric Positionality in Addictions - Moral Aspect of Addictions

Aim: The aim of this paper is to review the moral aspect of addictions. With the advancement of technology that brings more and more possibilities to a human being, understanding the principles of one’s own mind and the principles of the epoch in which the same mind lives, becomes necessary for a free life. Materials and Methods: The materials we included into our work include a noteworthy literature dealing with this challenges. Results: In addiction, in which a person has the impression of controlling the substance, enjoying the blissful role of the victor carried on a misbalanced concept of eccentric positionality, until he/she himself/herself becomes the very object he longed for, being a mere object in his own life, so the postmodernist concept of humanity sinks and withers in a bubble of the safety of the supra-cultural mind hooked on the illusion and the power of technique. The concepts of science bring a different view of things, and thus the metaphysical abstract concept of conscience as a divine voice that leads towards the principles that in some epoch arose from the knowledge reached at that time, that is, beliefs, disintegrates. Conclusion: The significance of these theses is that they could be applicable in expanding the view on addictions, which is necessary, taking into account the changes in the mental environment (epoch).
