The Living Philosophy on The Living Philosophy

[The Living Philosophy]

I appreciate the comment jeffrey. Unfortunately I have no answers for you. In a later critique I do outline a version of Metamodernism that I am partial to and points a way forward — or at least an orientation forward.

I can’t answer the question about what to do next because I don’t know. I’ve come to be suspicious of those who claim they are. That being said I think it’s important to try and respect the quest while I wince at the inflations that all too often come with such audacity.

I can only say that I am not so captivated by the meta-crisis narrative these days. It is a mythos in itself and I’m not sure how helpful it is. Not to diminish the crises we are faced with but just this air of the mythological that attaches to it. It’s a powerful meaningful narrative and those are often more psychoactive than accurate. That’s a watery response but the loss of the meta-crisis narrative’s grip on my soul isn’t something I’ve yet tried to articulate hence this poor first attempt.

My starting point is a quest for clarification. I am trying to understand. There is no agenda I want to implement or global vision I have to swap in. Just an attempt to understand.
