More about the book
Exploring the tension between limits and limitless aspirations in modernity, Schabert examines how humanity's quest for God-like power has led to a civilization in crisis, particularly evident in ecological challenges. Drawing from diverse fields such as philosophy and political thought, he highlights the paradox of constitutional governments emerging within a framework meant to transcend limitations. Through the insights of thinkers like Spinoza and Locke, the author elucidates how these limitations can reveal the potential of modernity, suggesting a path toward a world beyond its current disruptions.
