Time returns

Abstract

Time returns: elemental forms of postmodernity is the most recently released book by the philosopher Michel Maffesoli, the Forensic Publishers. The work proposes to review and launch behaviors and daily characteristics, which guide us to the postmodern society. It is divided into eight parts: Postmodern Involvement; The Height of Daily Life; Climatology; The Tribal Disappearance; Invagination of Sense; The Nomad Instinct; Archaisms and Technology; Imaginary. Imaginal. The author thus writes through parallels and paradoxes about his hypothesis that the financial crisis is no more than a form of individual saturation.
