For a Theory of Human Knowledge

For a Theory of Human Knowledge traces the grand arc of human consciousness from Antiquity to the present, revealing our evolution not as a straight line but as a spiral-returning to perennial questions at ever-higher levels. Elena Malec explores how civilizations have been shaped by three guiding values-Beauty, Goodness, and Truth-and how each era privileged one as its central ethos. Moving from the Tower of Babel to Brâncuși's Endless Column, from ancient cosmologies to modern science and the rise of AI, this book proposes a bold new model of sociocultural evolution rooted in the geometry of the universe itself. A work of philosophy, cultural history, and visionary insight, it invites readers to consider whether humanity can integrate its aesthetic, ethical, and scientific legacies into a coherent future-or risk dissolution at a critical turning point in our spiral journey.
