Synopsis - Official

This essay studies the issue of long-term cycles in civilizations and secular patterns.

The reader will find here the provisional foundations for a program of hermeneutical research based on such cycles. This fundamental question, in its evolutionary and anthropological sense, offers essential keys for studying contemporary phenomena such as the resurgence of autocratic tendencies. The book takes the reader on a journey through the history of civilization, in which philosophy, economics, and religion intertwine in sometimes unexpected ways. It addresses perspectives in intellectual history in connection with an anthropological and evolutionary approach. It has macroeconomic foundations and presents a study of the history of economics that sheds light on the present. In a Blumenbergian style, the essay offers a perspective on the relationship between myth, religion, and the history of economics, allowing for an exploration of its current relevance.
