The author of this irreverent seminal work proposes that a self-righteous attitude of intolerance backed up by force has caused us as a species to plan and construct a Final Planetary Holocaust. He points to compulsive objectives by a group of dedicated people, which he refers to as 'Barbarians' gathered on purpose, to accomplish a self-assigned mission for the annihilation of the human phenomenon. This is serious stuff and obviously no bedtime reading for sure.
He submits that this planetary genocidal project is not only in progress but has now begun to accelerate toward its overall goal-insisting further that, we inexplicably continue to deny the existence of this scenario of malfeasance altogether despite the spectacle of horror, fright, cowardice, callousness, and violence, there for us all to witness.
A situation, he insists, is generally denied particularly by those of us, who as members of the Western Tradition are for the moment exceptionally located in that quieter area of the eye of the storm, so to speak. A spectacle nonetheless made blindingly obvious and which consists of famines, nuclear arsenals, environmental collapse, territorial and food wars, destruction of marginal nations, devastation of the ozone layer, unprovoked crimes, morbid existence, poverty, rapacious consumption of natural resources for unethical profit, genocides, tribal warfare, etc.
As if to make matters worst, he states that, all of this is carried out with our approval, simply because most of us refuse to be responsible and accountable for setting our personalized meanings, values and standards of thought and behavior in a cooperative pursuit of our bliss while respecting everyone'sInalienable Individual Rights at all times and regardless of circumstances.
Yet, he offers a scenario for hope based on sane and kind behavior, while accomplishing this in the pursuit of our individualized bliss.
The approach in this work resembles that of putting a puzzle without all of the parts-yet possessing a sufficient number of these in order to present a reasonable image of the message conveyed-in a sort of McLuhanesque manner. This helter-skelter style is tied together with several key words and concepts such as The Republic of the Barbarians, The Commonwealth of the Ings, The Ing Point, HID Syndrome, Article of Violence, Axioms of Dichotomies, etc.
A truly fresh and different way of observing our social, historical and political realities.
