Description: |
Progress is the God of the modern world. What happens once God is dead? |
Synopsis: |
Nietzsche said, "God is dead"; John Michael Greer says "Progress is dead." What comes next? This book is shocking, heretical and says things no one else dares to utter Progress is about to end and we will soon lose the set of guiding beliefs that have shaped our culture The author explains that civic religion is a set of beliefs and practices that fills the same social role as a theist religion Our current civic religion is belief in progress Far more than a mere metaphor, belief in progress is as omnipotent and uncritically supported today as belief in God was in the middle ages However, progress is a temporary condition that has been made possible only by the exploitation of non-renewable resources which are now almost depleted As resources dwindle, so too will progress In this book, the author examines how today's theist and civil religions will be replaced with a new religious sensibility in the decades to come |
