Description
An Orderly Mess by Helga Nowotny explores the current state of the modern order and the opportunities that arise from its dissolution. The author examines how messiness is manifesting in our world, particularly in the realms of time and space.
The rapid digitalization of our lives has led to a blurring of traditional world orderings, forcing us to reevaluate our understanding of time and space. Nowotny revisits her earlier work on Eigenzeit, which explored how moderns experience time, and finds that technology has further challenged the traditional meaning of these concepts.
Today, we find ourselves in a phase of transition towards new ways of world ordering. The author's insights offer a timely diagnosis of our current state and highlight the different patterns of order and disorder that underpin this process.
