“If the 15th century (medieval) was the age of Belief,

the 16th century (Renaissance) the age of Adventure,

the 17th century the age of Reason,

the 18th century the age of Enlightenment,

the 19th century the age of Ideology and

the 20th century the age of Analysis,

then naturally

the 21st century should be

the age of Synthesis”
