Only an intellectual and moral revolution can prevent the West from losing itself, reconnecting it instead with the best part of its history.

In the heart of the West, in Europe as in America, an unprecedented void of ideas has opened up, just as we are going through an epoch-making transition in which we need new thinking more than ever. We need a vision and a strategy capable of countering those who seek to transform the drive towards a globalized world into an unprecedented technocratic privatization of the planet, which would lead to the decline of democratic politics and new inequalities in areas crucial to the future of our species. But a European awakening is still possible to put us back on the path of our modernity.

«What is lacking is in particular a thought – historical, philosophical, social – that poses the problem of an overall reading of the processes that are developing in the world, their characters and tendencies, and that offers innovative solutions to politics. One that closely analyses, with an adequate theoretical capacity, the qualitative leap that has occurred in the structure of the capitalist economy following the technological revolution, with the definitive demise of the historical centrality of human labour producing material goods – the labour of the working class. A transition, the latter, that put an end to an entire section of modernity, caused the collapse of communist regimes, and led to the emergence of a specific unique mechanism of technology and economy for the first time without alternatives in the entire planet, which determined the establishment, at least in the West, of new social, political, and power relations.»
