After Pandemic, After Modernity - The Relational Revolution

The global pandemic has highlighted the absence of personal relationships and the risk of transforming the modern matrix into a digital matrix. Post-pandemic must be a moment of clarity and realism, but it must be in the spirit of Christian humanism to speak authentically of our humanity. The relational dimension of human life will be erased along with other ills.

The global pandemic has had a profound impact on humanity, presenting a significant opportunity in its wake. Amidst what Giulio Maspero refers to as a crisis of modernity, he highlights a phenomenon that is readily observable. The absence of personal relationships brought to the forefront by the health crisis exposes the consequences of the modern matrix, which, having lost its Christian essence, now risks transforming itself into a digital matrix, essentially configuring itself as a technognosis.

Without the Trinitarian framework, ancient and new idols emerge, as evidenced by the tragic events of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the post-pandemic period must be characterized by clarity and realism, recognizing the imperative for humanity to establish a relationship with something beyond itself. The post-modern journey must be guided by Christian humanism, or any purported progress will lose its ability to genuinely speak to the essence of our humanity. In essence, the relational dimension of human life will be erased alongside the other ills that plague our planet.
