Adaptation

In modernity, the prevailing belief was that the world could be shaped and that progress would, more or less automatically, lead to a better tomorrow. Global warming, the growth crisis, and subjective feelings of being overwhelmed have shaken this optimism. Today, the primary concern is to mitigate catastrophe. And even if that succeeds, we will still have to deal with change. Questions of self-preservation will then overshadow those of individual and collective self-fulfillment. Adaptation becomes the guiding principle of society. This results in a crisis of our relationship to ourselves, to time and to politics – to which humanity and progressive political forces must find an answer.
