Abstract

This article shows that the events of hypermodernity are permeated by a special form of manifestation of the sacred. Be the spectrum of Jewish-Christian formation chasing our western experience, whether by confrontation between great religious powers that produces terror and needs to be tamed by a god to come. Thus, we turn to Hans-Georg Gadamer, Gianni Vattimo and Jacques Derrida to position ourselves with this new reality. Concluding, they are photographs of a secularized Western in which man claims for the sacred composition of a sense of life.
