In an age when science and technology promise progress yet threaten to destroy our humanity, this book asks a difficult question: can civilization survive its own success?
Exploring the deep divide between the “Global West” and the “Global South,” Stanislav Ovcharenko reflects on how freedom, culture, and reason, once the triumphs of modern civilization, now face erosion from both within and without. Beneath the surface of politics and daily events lies a greater struggle between culture and barbarism, between the maturity of thought and the seduction of simplicity.
Drawing on history, philosophy, and social insight, this book calls for a renewed understanding of the European cultural code and for the courage to defend this only civilization, not with fear or pride, but with wisdom and foresight.
