Mankind goes through a period in which the problem of direction touches on ignorance, and this is paradoxical when considering the rational propensities of 21st century modernity. This can be described as a breakdown in the interpreting mechanism of the ineffable signals which structure the knowledge of the sensitive world’s functioning. The creator of the order of things, which insures the equilibrium of cohabitation, becomes increasingly confused under the pressure of neurotic contexts. The universality through societally engaged forces, with an emancipation effect through democracy, is in a symptomatic way being substituted by the crisis inducing hegemony of the structures of financial speculation.
