Late-Western-Modernity and exceptionalism

Long time without posting

I'm terminating a revision of the Volume 1, of my series "The transition from Western-Modernity to After-Modernity", that is titled "The interactive continuum of the cultural field of societies". I have been plunged in this work for the last 6 months, 7 to 9 hours daily, 7/7. But this did not insulate me from what is going on in the world. I still read, and watch videos, 5 to 6 hours on average everyday. This informs my illustrations of the theories I write about with contemporary examples.

While reading the revision of the chapter titled "4.2.4.2. Late-Modernity and Western exceptionalism" I thought that it neatly sums up my views about the present Geopolitical situation so I decided to share it on my blog. 

 

The revision of Volume 1 will be available sometime within the next 2 weeks. 

Have a nice read and if you happen to agree with what I write please share this article with your friends.

The e-book "Daily reality and the news about it" is online.

I just uploaded the "Daily reality and the news about it".  It is now available on my website.

This e-book is a compilation and edited version, of my series of 5 articles under the same title that delves on the societal evolution of Homo-Sapiens which I argue is the brew out of which emerges our present reality. 

Daily reality and the news about it. Foreword & Afterword

Foreword

Emerging facts, that are separated from the context in which they appear, make no sense for the good reason that it is their context that procures them substance. In themselves facts are incomprehensible. Their meaning is in the outcome of the process that formed them. In light of this the imposition by the media of facts that are divorced from their context is necessarily a highly suspect act that reeks of propaganda, as the Hamas story that fills our media today plainly attests.

Graphs from the series "Daily reality and the news about it".

While formatting the content of the series of articles, about the "Daily reality and the news about it" in pdf book form, I thought that it would be useful to dedicate an article specifically to the graphs illustrating these articles.
