Abstract
And whoever must be a creator of values in good and evil: verily, he must first be an annihilator and shatter values.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1SS3)1 Modernity [... ] pours us all into a maelstrom of perpetual disintegration and renewal, of struggle and contradiction, of ambiguity and anguish.
Marshall Berman, All that is Solid Melts into Air (1982)2 Because [...] the modern world is distinguished from the old by the fact that it opens itself to the future, the epochal new beginning is rendered constant with each moment that gives birth to the new.
