Reflections on the Everlasting and the Transient or the Road to the “Freed Field of Light”

subject

description

The twentieth century is a contradiction-ridden time. Without warning it combines grandiose Utopias and apocalyptic reasonings. It bottles up tragic contradictions, a feeling of insecurity, at times manifestations of despair and feverish activity. In the eyes of a considerable part of society man has lost his divine image, his place in the system of universal value. Consciousness of the loss of sense, the loss of absolute values forms a peculiar background for the cultural processes of the twentieth century. It is this loss of sense that may be the basis for its dualistic and even tragic vision of the world.
