At the crossroads. The Renaissance and the global age or the dialogue between experience and expectations

Abstract

The global age is a time of uncertainty in which the referents of the Modernity do not satisfy us anymore. This article proposes a journey to another age —The Renaissance— in which humans faced a similar experience and when those referents, now in crisis, emerged. The interpretation of this time as an age when ideas encountered, when new concepts and utopias were generated, when some projects triumphed and others were abandoned, is the key to face with critical experience the uncertainties of our present.
