For a long time, we have been told that humanity is in a state of 'crisis' and in response to this terrible impasse, a stream of countless voices has poured forth numerous solutions. Each of them have advocated the need for a different way of understanding culture, politics, economics, humanity, or the world itself. But do these numerous remedies only identify a deeper problem? Is there actually just something wrong with how we humans turn the mystery of existence into a form of 'reality'? In an exciting continuation of Technic and Magic (Bloomsbury, 2018), Federico Campagna argues that if the crisis afflicting humanity is to be solved, then humans need to embark upon a new journey of discovery within reality itself. For Campagna, the main task of cultural work today, and indeed tomorrow, is to draw a new map of the universe that is hidden within each thing and outline the reality that is specific to that generation. As has happened countless times in history, those who rebuild societies face the prophetic challenge of allowing the mystery of existence to speak once again, whilst also containing it within a new system of reality. This innovative and unique book shows that each time humans attempt to produce prophetic culture, culture itself emerges transformed at its very core.
