Abstract

The text raises questions about the ways in which the consciousness of our time is assumed, with a journey through the different ways of conceptualising modernity, its uses and applications in different periods and contexts; of some authors such as Castoriadis, Habermas, Jauss, Baudelaire. The aim is to show that we are witnessing a disillusionment with modernity. It is pointed out that there is a dissociation of our consciousness with our objects; therefore, the incessant movement of events makes their rational appropriation impossible, and also (from a rethinking of the discussion between Hegel and Marx on alienation) it is proposed to renew ways of thinking in order to recover our need for emancipation as self-consciousness of our future, especially because there are new forms of destruction of the imaginary.
