Our times - a critique

Like war vis-à-vis diplomacy, postmodernity is a continuation of modernity by other means. —David Rapport Lachterman

The trial of

modernity

What about modernity? What is it? Is it inevitable? Is it bad? Is it transitory? Why do so many critics hate it, who are obviously not at home in the premodern? Is it hated most by those involved in its failures? Modernity puts to a test all those syncretistic systems combining Christianity with paganism and delegitimizes the hierarchies built on those systems.  Review of Modernity on Endless Trial, by Leszek Kolakowski  Review of The Flight from Truth: The Reign of Deceit in the Age of Information by Jean-François Revel  Review of The Crisis of Modernity by Augusto Del Noce  Priority of the moral over epistemology and the genesis of modernity, Review of Revelation and Reconciliation: An Angle on Modernity by Stephen N.

Modernity as gnosticism

It began with Rousseau. Man must remake himself and his world together with him, because this event, thought of as Revolution, is the only means by which man’s nature, which is his freedom, can create a condition worthy of him.
