520 This book focuses on the tensions between processes of
consciousness and their products like worldviews, theories,
models of thought etc. Staying close to their technical
meanings in chaos and catastrophe theory, chaotic
processes are described in mainly neurobiological and
evolutionary terms while products are delineated in their
evolutionary logic. Given both a relative opacity of
processes of the mind and of the outside world, the
dramatic quality of the processes, a certain closeness to
'hysterical' and 'schizophrenic' tendencies and, within
the context of the weakening orientating power of
worldviews, an alarming catastrophic potential emerge. As
a consequence, the book aims at a comparative cost-benefit
analysis of the transitionality between 'chaotic'
processes of consciousness and the often 'catastrophic'
implications of their products within historical
frameworks. The central thesis consists in the increasing
failure in the orientation of action which cannot be
contained by systems of ethics. Materials for this
analysis are mainly drawn from texts normally called
literary in which the tension between biographical and
historical dimensions provides profiles of chaos and
catastrophe.
