Axial Age
A threshold in which consciousness, ethics and symbolic form emerge as shared human ground.
Axial Age takes its name from the historical period identified by Karl Jaspers as the moment in which distinct civilizations simultaneously articulated ethical and philosophical foundations that continue to inform contemporary thought.

This node opens onto a broader project dedicated to the Axial Age as a symbolic horizon.
