7pm The Axial Age with Basil Groves - Are we moving towards an Axial Age ?""
The last Axial Age (800-200 BCE) was characterized by accelerating technological innovation, political instability, intensified warfare (as an outcome of general intercultural interaction intensification), and the emergence of new spiritual conceptualizations in 4 largely separated civilizations: Greece, Israel, India and China, including the rise of the “national” state and the spiritual traditions that continue to dominate Greek philosophy, monotheism, Hinduism and Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. . Where are we today? - Martin Armstrong’s exploration of Cycles and how the PI CYCLE fits into future outcomes - is amplified by his massive computer data base and ability to manage equally vast portfolios - investment and otherwise. What are the implications of AxialAge2, as a globalising shaping phenomenon, particularly for the worldview, belief systems, financial cycles and forms of government now emerging.
