Other | "The idea of 'Progress' is a basic dogma in the ideology of modernity. Material 'progress' has become the new religion of the world. But so-called 'progress' has thrust humanity into the core of a deep crisis. Science and technology continuously devise new ways of destruction that keep the world in a state of permanent danger; economic development condemns whole countries to utter poverty; art has renounced any search for meaning; ecologic catastrophes are a matter of routine; violence increases everywhere and human beings feel a growing dissatisfaction and emptiness in their lives. Where then is progress? In this short but incisive, discerning, sarcastic, caustic, radical and uncompromising text, the author searches for the real face of modernity and progress behind its gleaming make-up and dares to declare for all that would hear that ""the king is naked"". His judgement is clear-cut and categorical: from the spiritual point of view, which sees man as God-bound, so called 'progress' is an unmitigated disaster." |
