Dokąd zmierza cywilizacja zachodnia? Esej

The article aims at reflecting on the future of Western civilization, whose identity is determined primarilyby two values: rationalism and the pursuit of social emancipation. The question is whether the success of this civilization, and above all its 500 year-old world domination, will continue. It seems that long-term forecasts can be formulated only in the form of assumptions. One can only predict several potential scenarios: a successful continuation of this civilization; its gradual aging; various probable forms of hybridization; a possible, but rather unexpected, disaster.
