The world in transition: towards holoreflexivity?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Worlds in Transition is a large and ambitious study about contemporary and emerging global trends, set within the wide context of evolution on planet Earth. The central hypothesis of the book is that in the decades after the world wars, we have seen, and are seeing, the unfolding of a radical transition leading towards the emergence of a new stage in human civilization. This new stage is defined in terms of a qualitatively higher level of reflexivity. The authors have chosen to label this stage as the holoreflexive epoch. The new epoch involves the “reshaping many of the cognitive assumptions, practices and institutions that have shaped the Modern epoch” (p.15).
