Contingentcy of Art-

The expose of sensibility

What was glimpsed on the 21St?

 Millenium

"we are now living through the second
great divide in human history,
comparable in magnitude only with
that first break in historic continuity-the
shift from barbarism to civilization....
"The mood,the pace,the very "fell 'of
existence,as well as one's underlying
notion of time,beaty,space and social
relation will be shaken...
"Given these changes,it becomes quite
impossible to sustain the argument that
what is happening now is anything
like "normal' progress,even for the ind
of industrial society we have know for
the past century.It is not merely a 'second
industrail revolution'. Viewed
as a violent break with historic
continuity,our age takes on a
significance that few ages in the past
have had."
