MODERN TIMES IN RETROSPECTIVE: YOUNG MINDS AS CRADLES FOR 20TH CENTURY CULTURAL CRISES

Summary/Abstract: This study is a survey of the key elements pertaining to what is knowntoday as a new development in the social studies, psychoanalysis, theology, andliterature at the dawn of the 1950s, which addressed the then generation ofyoung academics and young people in general. Our purpose here is to see howthe end result of notable crises, such as the conflict between traditional dogmaand the new hermeneutics of the nouvelle théologie, for instance, led to morerevolt amid the young generation rather than to the promised improvement andhope for a better future both socially and culturally. We will thus show that thenew language associated with psychoanalysis and literature was mainlyderived and encouraged by post Vatican II continental theologies, whosecritical spirit allowed for such redefining of doctrinal statements as to makethem acceptable to the young revolted generation that departed from the sourceof faith and Scripture. In the present study this is the context against which wecan then conclude on the practical relationship between revolt and liberalism.
