Let’s Look at Chronocentrism

Speaker:
Service Type:

According to Wikipedia, “chronocentrism” was coined by sociologist Jib Fowles in an article in the journal Futures in February, 1974.  Fowles described chronocentrism as “the belief that one’s own times are paramount, that other periods pale in comparison.”  It is being talked about nowadays in a kind of disparaging way—the egotism that one’s own generation is poised on the very cusp of history.  Could we be on the very cusp of history?  Is it just egotism to think that way? Are there links between this thought and the prophetic thinking that we’ve talked about?  I’m hopeful to start the conversation..
