Interpreting the World, Changing the World, Escaping the World

To Marx' contrast of Philosophy as interpreting the World and Philosophy as changing the World can be added a third option: Philosophy as escaping the World.  For example, Modern Philosophy begins with Bacon as Method, one aspect of which is the attempt to "produce effects".  From that origin, on the one hand, Descartes extracts the Cogito, attached to the World only by the pineal gland.  Leibniz then severs his Monad from any such connection, and speculates that it might inhabit other Worlds, leading eventually to the denial of any Actual World by some contemporary Modal Logicians.  On the other hand, Locke reduces Empiricist Method to sensory Ideas, which Berkeley further reduces to private phenomena that are the medium of divine communication.  Subsequently, Hegel also spiritualizes Phenomena, and Heidegger, via Husserl, ontologizes them as Being, differentiated from Beings inhabitating the World.  In other words, to add to another of Marx' famous sayings, Philosophy is the opiate of some Philosophers.
