This book delves into the premise that the relative peace during the 18th and 19th centuries was a crucial factor in the development of numerous ideas central to the zeitgeist of the time. It argues that the prolonged absence of violent conflict led to the development of ideals such as progress, human solidarity, and the enlightenment. However, the author contends that these modern ideals are, in reality, a mere echo of a larger philosophical movement that began in the Renaissance and culminated in the 'Second Renaissance' of the 18th century. The author argues that these ideals reached their zenith during this period and have been in decline ever since, particularly over the last fifty years. The author posits that the decline of these ideals has created a spiritual void, which in turn has contributed to the current global conflict. The book concludes by asserting that a true understanding of history and philosophy is essential for comprehending the present and envisioning a better future.
