Abstract

The ideological crisis that closed the twentieth century suggests that “post-industrial” society has lost all modern references that set it in motion because the dialectical becoming of reality has become a literal commitment to the notion of “reason.” This reason is rooted in the modern totalitarian democratic capitalist system of post-industrial and consumer survival in which opposites end up expressing the senseless and reversionary character of Modernity.
