Between the fall of one civilisation and the rise of the next lies a dark age where new myths are born. Franz Borkenau mapped this territory and understood what such interregnums demand. By David Boos
Very interesting discussion, was not familiar with Borkenau previously.
I actually just wrote about Alasdair MacIntyre's analysis of the failure of the enlightenment, and how it shows up today - which might be very interesting to you. In any case it is quite complementary to what you wrote here.
