In Step with the Times. A Shortened Stay in the Present
In the dynamic civilization of the modern era, the speed of renewal in science and technology, art and economics, politics and law is increasing. The period of stable work and life is decreasing. Our stay in the present is shortening....
Time becomes limited and therefore requires social and technical organization as the medium for coordinating our actions. In the work of Hermann Lübbe, a broad panorama of the temporal structure of our civilization unfolds. Why does progress, aimed at the future, multiply the forms of historical culture? Why does artistic and intellectual avant-gardism tend to support totalitarian regimes? How do archives and libraries cope with the growing flow of information? These are just some of the questions that this book answers.
