Description:
Deep-seated insecurities characterise our society today. Our images of the world, our moral values and our traditional structures of knowledge have been shattered and the political euphoria of the years 1989–1990 has vanished. This applies in equal measure to the alleged triumph of democracy and to the self-perception of ‘the West’ as the driver of progress and development. Geopolitical conflicts have further reinforced this sense of uncontrollable change.
