In the contexts of the madness of unreason that has gripped the world which has given rise to global diseases, environment disaster and unending wars situated in what this book calls the Age of the Apocalypse, this book argues for a philosophical rethinking of our contemporary human condition. The leitmotiv of this book is that fundamentalists have taken hold of world governments placing their apocalyptic idea of the end of the world at the base of their political ideology, displacing thus peace for violence, democracy for authoritarianism and human reason for mytho-poetics. Scanning the terror of the corona pandemic along with the discontents of liberalism which have given rise to violent right-wing ethno-nationalist movements all over the world, coupled with the failure of 20th century socialism, in the form of Stalinism, which has given rise to Putinism and the old czarist idea of Great Russian Imperialism, the book talks of the necessity of going back to philosophical reasoning to understand this Age of the Apocalypse.
