Selected as one of The Tablet’s Books of the Year 2021 Throughout
history, different civilisations have given rise to many
alternative worlds. Each of them was the enactment of a unique
story about the structure of reality, the rhythm of time and the
range of what it is possible to think and to do in the course of a
life. Cosmological stories, however, are fragile things. As soon as
they lose their ring of truth and their significance for living,
the worlds that they brought into existence disintegrate. New and
alien worlds emerge from their ruins. Federico Campagna explores
the twilight of our contemporary notion of reality, and the fading
of the cosmological story that belonged to the civilisation of
Westernised Modernity. How are we to face the challenge of leaving
a fertile cultural legacy to those who will come after the end of
our future? How can we help the creation of new worlds out of the
ruins of our own?
