In diesem Buch analysiert der bekannte Philosoph Hermann Lubbe anhaltende Trends sozialer, kultureller und politischer Entwicklung. Das Ergebnis ist eine uberraschende Philosophie zivilisatorischer Evolution. Komplementar zur wissenschaftlich-technischen und wirtschaftlichen Globalisierung verlaufen Prozesse der Selbstorganisation kleiner Einheiten, und Herkunftswelten werden revitalisiert - lokal und national, kulturell und religios. Angesprochen werden nicht nur Fachphilosophen, sondern auch Sozialwissenschaftler, Okonomen und Kulturwissenschaftler und ebenso auf Orientierung bedachte Praktiker, Unternehmer, (Europa-)Politiker und Journalisten sowie Gegenwartsinteressierte und Zukunftsbesorgte. Die Beitrage sind sorgfaltig aufeinander abgestimmt und vermitteln ein eindrucksvolles Bild unserer Gegenwart."

Die Zukunft der modernen Industriegesellschaft hangt letztlich nicht von okonomischen, vielmehr von kulturellen und politischen Faktoren ab. Das erfahren heute alle, die in Wirtschaft und Verwaltung, in Politik und Wissenschaft fur diese Zukunft einstehen. Im vorliegenden Buch wird zunachst die gewandelte Einstellung in der Bevolkerung zu ihren industriegesellschaftlichen Lebensgrundlagen untersucht; die Ursachen reichen weit uber die uns bedrangenden okologischen Probleme hinaus. Dennoch bringen sich Wohlfahrt und Freiheit unverandert als Lebensvorzuge der modernen Industriegesellschaft zur Geltung. Der Aufbruch im Bereich des ehemaligen Sozialismus demonstriert das eindrucksvoll. Als orientierungspraktisch-kulturelle Konsequenz ergibt sich: Verlangt ist nicht die Suche nach grossen alternativen Gesellschaftsentwurfen, vielmehr politische, okonomische und wissenschaftlich-technische Steuerungskunst unter den moralischen und kulturellen Zielvorgaben des Gemeinsinns."

In einer dynamischen Zivilisation erhoht sich in Wissenschaft und Technik, in Wirtschaft und Kunst die Neuerungsrate. Die Zeitdauer konstanter Arbeits- und Lebensverhaltnisse nimmt ab, der Aufenthalt in der Gegenwart verkurzt sich. Zeit wird knapp und organisationsbedurftig. Hermann Lubbe beschreibt und analysiert die kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und zeitumgangstechnischen Folgen dieser "Gegenwartsschrumpfung" und zeichnet ein umfassendes Panorama der Zeit-Verfassung unserer modernen Kultur.
"Der Autor stellt dem Leser den mehr als fraglichen Beschleunigungscharakter unserer modernen Kultur facettenreich und anschaulich vor. Spricht aus, was wir in unserer Angst, uns auf der schnellen Reise selbst zu verlieren, schon fast gar nicht mehr wahrnehmen wollen..." "Das Buch versucht eine Phanomenologie unserer Kultur, deren Ausserungen sich standig und mit wachsender Geschwindigkeit verandern. Seine Belege sind uns in ihrer Alltaglichkeit uberraschend, aber in ihren Einzelheiten plausibel..." (VDI nachrichten magazin bzw. Physikalische Blatter)
