Description

As a philosopher, Stephen Erickson considers himself a messenger of sorts and the message he is delivering is a significant one. He argues that we are entering into a new historical moment, a period which will be properly defined by those who come after us, as were the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Erickson predicts a failure and eventual breakdown of traditional values and institutions resulting in a dramatic change in our understanding of human life. This he illustrates with examples from contemporary political, economic and religious circumstances. To lessen the impact of this changeover, which will be initially experienced as global anxiety, Erickson argues that we must do what we can to come into this new era, which he has called "The Age of Thresholding," with a better understanding of our past and present. Some questions should be directed toward our future - over what threshold might we be crossing and what will have been ventured? What will have been gained, and what will be left behind from "The (Coming) Age of Thresholding?"
