Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This book explores the evolution of belief systems, imagination, and future scenarios through the lens of Indo-Iranic, Mesopotamian, and Hellenic thought, contrasting them with the dominant Abrahamic and Western paradigms. Rooted in a Progressive & Cyclical Macrohistory Framework, the book argues that humanity is transitioning from the Second Nomad Age toward a new Settlement Age, marked by planetary consciousness and ethical transformation.The journey begins with The Mysterious Lord of Time, where alternative temporalities and non-linear understandings of history are introduced, challenging the Western conception of time as a straight path toward progress. Evolving Belief Systems critiques how religious and philosophical traditions have shaped human perception, highlighting Indo-Iranic and Hellenic influences that fostered pluralism and complexity rather than dogmatic closure.In Histories of Imagination, the role of myth, storytelling, and artistic expression in shaping civilizations is addressed, emphasizing how ancient visions continue to influence modern and future realities. This leads into Scenarios of the Future Worlds, where foresight methodologies are applied to construct alternative geopolitical futures, considering emerging technologies, ecological shifts, and evolving human consciousness. The final chapters expand the discussion to cosmic dimensions, exploring humanity's role in a broader planetary and universal context.Central to the thesis is the idea that ethical transformations require a deep reconnection with forgotten wisdom traditions, an embrace of planetary identity, and a commitment to creative complexity and foresight. The book challenges simplistic narratives of progress and advocates for a future shaped by hybrid fluid identities, stewardship of the planet, and a reverence for life and the cosmos. It serves as both a philosophical treatise and a practical framework for navigating the uncertain but promising horizons ahead. This item is printed on demand.
