Synopsis "The End of Everything: A society in transition"
This is the strange story of how our society is questioning its own identity. We live in liquid times in which everything flows and nothing stays the same: not philosophy, not politics, not diet, not sex, not even death. It is literally "the end of everything", but at the same time the beginning of a new era. How did we come to this?The book is full of real-life examples showing the diversity and complexity of a society straddling modernity and postmodernity. Through its pages we will encounter: adulterous presidents, jilted lovers, homophobes turned transsexuals, artists smearing themselves in excrement, scientists exterminating 'inferior' people, suicidal musicians, alchemists, vengeful goddesses, philosophers sentenced to death and a long etcetera of captivating characters. All in all, an intellectual journey like no other that once read, it will be impossible to ignore.With the rigour of a Philosophy graduate and the clarity of a Master's in Contemporary Culture, the author explains, and contextualises, the causes of this situation.
