The origins of the Multisensitive Society (Paperback)


The Modern era, with its apodictic certainty, strong ideologies and beliefs, is gone. Post-modernism with its huge range of uncertainties, doubts, misunderstandings, pessimism is gone, too. A number of anomalous circumstances and exceptional phenomena have raised so much the degree of instability and differentiation to trigger a huge concatenation of changes. So we are facing the challenge of an original era, of a fresh world for a new generation of humans. Homo Monisticus, his over-excited hedonism and his American Dream are coming to an end and Homo Olisticus is emerging with fresh values, with his aesth-ethic, with his sensitiveness, with his Mediterranean paradigm. He is realizing that his life is necessarily interdependent with other people and with the rest of the multi-verse. So he refines his unique and innovative sensibility. This book goes back over the transformation from the Insensitive Society to the Sensorial Society up to the Multi-sensitive Society.
