Hospicing Modernity

Facing Humanity's Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism
Book • 2021
This book critiques the modernity narrative as a single story of progress, development, and civilization that is expiring.

It argues that modernity, driven by expansion, colonialism, and resource extraction, has created significant harm and imbalance.

Andreotti calls for 'hospicing' modernity, offering palliative care to its decline while nurturing new, potentially wiser systems.

The book includes thought experiments and exercises to help readers reimagine learning, unlearn harmful behaviors, and expand their capacity to handle difficult and painful issues.

It emphasizes the need for humility, accountability, and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of human and natural systems.
