Neither the philosophy of the subject, nor the psychology of the unconscious, nor Marxist or liberal economics, nor the sociology of institutions, along with a theology that has lost the gift of prophecy, have been able to foresee what is nevertheless being established, almost...

Review this product
  • Paper quality
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • Was it easy to read?
  • Perhaps the book is aimed at academics and scholars of specific aspects of the human condition. What the author argues toward the end of the book, we have read/heard from others too, who use various other/different arguments and evidence, which are more understandable to a reader who is not an expert in a particular scientific field.

    An amazing book by one of the few truly Greek intellectuals, about the upcoming Velvet Totalitarianism, which unfortunately we are already experiencing and gradually becoming part of our everyday life.

    It reveals the heart of the modern reality of the Western world, which, being globalized, concerns the whole of the Ecumene. And it illuminates its perspective through a deep dialogue, in which the Greek proposition has significant contributions to make.

Description & Specifications

What inherent weaknesses and contradictions plague post-Enlightenment modernity? Neither the philosophy of the subject, nor the psychology of the unconscious, nor Marxist or liberal economics, nor the sociology of institutions, along with a theology that has lost the gift of prophecy, have been able to foresee what is nevertheless being established, almost triumphantly and relentlessly, as a post-human era in the Greco-Western world.
