We are on the threshold of a new century, a new millennium.
What will the legacy of this vanishing century be?
How will it be remembered in the new millennium?
Surely it will be judged, and judged severely,
In both moral and metaphysical terms.
These failures have cast a dark shadow over humanity.
…
A strange and unnatural state in which the lines blur between light and darkness,
Dusk and dawn, crime and punishment, cruelty and compassion, good and evil.
What are its courses and inescapable consequences?
Is it a philosophy?
Is there a philosophy of indifference conceivable?
Can one possibly view indifference as a virtue?
