Form and Soul
On the Evolution of Ideas, Societies and Civilizations
Description:... FORM AND SOUL is a philosophical work that announces a great break with the past, the reality of which is being felt by all of us who are the esteemed netizens of the emerging digital age civilization. Leaving behind the machine age conceptions of ideas, societies and civilizations this work tries to realize the ethos of a new civilization where artificial intelligence, information technology and quantum mechanics have turned the ideas of human relations and collective existence upside down. This new world of cyber campaigns and collective intelligence is on the verge of leaving behind the odds of cultural nationalism and liberal democracy to reach a new ideological platform where mankind can base its material and moral existence. This work can be considered as a great forward movement following Francis Fukuyama's ‘The End of History and the Last Man’ and Samuel Huntington's ‘The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order’ to interpret the world where relations between various levels of human organizations are determined by a matrix of dynamic social flows. Defining this newly emerging global social matrix is the main theme of this work.
