ABSTRACT

The author's analysis of the deep crisis of contemporary humanity focuses on the alarming loss of essential values, as well as the psychological disconnection with the archetype ofconiunctioof opposites, nature and technology, for instance. If one asks oneself what is the best future that can be imagined, one might be influenced by collective views, or what one chose to follow after long years of study digesting the teachings of eminent thinkers. One might then come to envisage some ideal future based on the proposals of utopic socialism, for example, or inspired by the fundamental values and aims formulated by all those who fought for a more humanitarian society, an improved democracy or a more balanced economic matrix. A future time that will take over, and elaborate a new, values, ideas and choices that were present in the beginning and now are brought back to interact alchemically with all the other qualities that make the present what it is.
