What sacred games shall we have to invent? (Nietzsche 1974:181-para. 124)

ORIGINS

To continue with borrowed beginnings, this time from Habermas:

With varying content, the term ‘modern’ again and again expresses the consciousness of an epoch that relates itself to the past of antiquity, in order to view itself as the result of a transition from the old to the new…. The project of modernity formulated in the 18th century by the philosophers of the Enlightenment consisted in their efforts to develop objective science, universal morality and law and autonomous art according to their inner logic.
