The World in the Making (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781026095607)

"The World in the Making" is a profound philosophical inquiry into the shifting paradigms of the early 20th century. Written by the influential thinker Hermann Keyserling, this work examines the collapse of traditional European social structures following the First World War and the subsequent birth of a new, unified global consciousness. Keyserling argues that humanity is entering a phase of "the world in the making," where spiritual and intellectual development must adapt to a rapidly changing socio-political landscape.

Through a series of insightful essays, the author explores themes of cultural synthesis, the role of the individual in history, and the emergence of an ecumenical worldview. By analyzing the psychological and cultural undercurrents of his time, Keyserling provides a visionary roadmap for a society in transition. "The World in the Making" remains a significant contribution to the philosophy of history and sociology, offering deep insights into how civilizations redefine themselves in the wake of total upheaval. It is an essential read for those interested in the intellectual history of the interwar period and the ongoing evolution of modern global thought.
