Theory of the End: Death of the Sacred and the Subjugation of Time($16.00Value)

Description

Drawing from both Western thinkers like Jacques Ellul and C.S. Lewis, as well as and Eastern Buddhist scholars like Kishio Satomi and Chigaku Tanaka, this book refutes the now-commonplace historical narrative of the Liberal Democratic "end of history" before outlining human civilization's evolution, starting from the mystic remote past and ending with our technologically preoccupied present; illustrating a trajectory which can only lead to a future wherein humanity itself is abolished. THEORY OF THE END is a thorough and relentless theologically-minded critique of modernity, tearing down the current civilizational paradigm from every possible angle; a wakeup call to a population in the process of total desacralization and, inevitably, mechanization.
