The Unified Nothing. The Evolution of Thought from Antiquity to the Present Day

Humanity has matured. The modern person can no longer live by beliefs. He has outgrown 'faith' as the dominant way of forming a worldview. He no longer believes unconditionally in anything: in Buddha, the Pythagorean theorem, or natural inalienable human... rights. Rather, he believes in logically contradictory things. Moreover, it turns out that the stronger the belief in one, the stronger the belief in the opposite. The modern individual urgently needs to seek new, preferably the most solid foundations for his spiritual, social, and political life. His views are significantly broader and there are fewer social taboos. He will never appeal to traditions, considering them an absolute good, and innovations as evil. The system of views of the modern person consists of a gradation of hopes. The modern person is a hopeful individual. This book contains reflections on the evolution of human thought from antiquity to the present day. The author provides examples from literature, world history, and politics; analyzes philosophical works from different years and eras.
