So, we put the sacramental issue of the sense of the human existence aside although it’s also important for our addiction philosophy. Let’s remember our previous talk about the rewarding center and the addiction as a chemical sort of hedonism (the concept of putting pleasure above everything else). We’ll say a very questionable thing that the addictive preference of alcohol to other things isn’t only immorality or false choice of a short-term aim to a long-term one (the long-term perspective can be better rendered by the expression executive power, something that leads everyone to a definite benefit – an American dream so to say – like a president of a country). The addiction is the preference of pleasure right here and right now. Therefore, let’s assume we break into Albert Bandura’s logic and add the idea of the reward center to the concept of human agency as the final consumer of the human’s acting as an agency. Then we’ll be able to have an interesting view of the problem of the addiction. The idea that a human always acts in the community or society for his / her own benefit isn’t always true. For Kant’s categorical imperative «Handle so, dass du die Menschheit sowohl in deiner Person, als in der Person eines jeden anderen jederzeit zugleich als Zweck, niemals bloß als Mittel brauchst» [“Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end”] is just a maxim. Unfortunately, there can be no society that can fully follow this imperative, even in theory. That means a trivial thing: in most cases, we are a tool to realize somebody else’s interests and our efficiency is measured by our abilities to use the world around us for our own benefit.
