Abstract
Excerpt: The decisive collapse of the Soviet Union unleashed a euphoric discourse over a simple, yet profoundly consequential question: “So what now?” After almost a century of cataclysms—beginning with the First World War, which upended the relatively peaceful, post-Napoleonic order in Europe—there was now a genuine hope for lasting peace. Yet, the sheer weight of history, especially the violent and devastating nature of the 20th century, beckoned a more fundamental philosophical inquiry into the essence of the post-Cold War age and how it would look like.
