ABSTRACT
Evolution is a perennial challenge before Nature, self, society and the world. This article engages with the discourse of evolutionity offered by W. Julian Korab-Karpowicz to characterize our contemporary condition. Korab-Karpowicz argues that our contemporary condition is not so much characterized by tradition, modernity and post-modernity but evolutionity which refers to processes of evolution on the part of self and society. This chapterengages with this perspective and argues how evolutionity is characterized by evolutionary suffering which then leads to evolutionary flourishing. The chapter also argues how the present moment is not only characterized by a clash among epochs but by dialogue among epochs. Here the chapter offers the perspectives of multi-topial and multi-temporal hermeneutics to understand dialogues among epochs. It also argues how dialogues among epochs need to be understood in the context of dialogues among cultures and civilizations. The chapter argues how in our contemporary moment we need to realize that we all are children of Mother Earth, which is called planetary realizations in this chapter.
