This book is a kind of challenge to the reader, because it invites us to recognize that the world as we know it will come to an end in the near future. But, although today this topic is increasingly covered in literature and covered from different angles, the author pays little attention to politics and national conflicts and does not directly address economic, social and technological issues. The author is equally far from making categorical statements in the spirit of “The end is near,” as some people like to do if something does not go as they would like. On the contrary, according to Edward Edinger, none of the above approaches, although each of them individually may contain a lot of common sense and seem quite realistic, is of great value to him. For Edinger, the strongest proof is psychological proof; This is what he offers us, supporting his arguments with cultural facts, deep knowledge of life, as well as examples from the stories of his patients, whose inner life makes it possible to understand what lies behind the events of our time.
