Selected as one of The Tablet's Books of the Year 2021

Throughout history, different civilisations have given rise to many alternative worlds. Each of them was the enactment of a unique story about the structure of reality, the rhythm of time and the range of what it is possible to think and to do in the course of a life.

Cosmological stories, however, are fragile things. As soon as they lose their ring of truth and their significance for living, the worlds that they brought into existence disintegrate. New and alien worlds emerge from their ruins.

Federico Campagna explores the twilight of our contemporary notion of reality, and the fading of the cosmological story that belonged to the civilisation of Westernised Modernity. How are we to face the challenge of leaving a fertile cultural legacy to those who will come after the end of our future? How can we help the creation of new worlds out of the ruins of our own?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Prophetic Culture by Federico Campagna receives praise for its visionary and evocative examination of cultural and spiritual possibilities beyond the decline of Western modernity. Reviewers highlight Campagna's ability to map out new imaginative worlds, turning mundane aspects of life, such as housekeeping, into tools for world creation and remaking cultural narratives. It's celebrated for addressing the crisis of modernity with confident meditations drawn from Judaeo-Christian mysticism, positioning itself as a guide for navigating uncertain futures and encouraging a hopeful restructuring of reality.
