Peter Joseph: “Project Earth – Where are we going?”

Peter Joseph Lecture: “Where are we going?” at Maharishi University, Nov. 15th 2009

Peter Joseph is the Founder of The Zeitgeist Movement and the creator of Zeitgeist The Movie and Zeitgeist Addendum. Zeitgeist, meaning the spirit of the age and its society, is a film that is the experience of a dominant cultural climate that defines an era in the controversial progression of a people or the world at large. from wikipedia : The concept of Zeitgeist goes back to Johann Gottfried Herder and other German Romanticists such as Cornelius Jagdmann, but is best known in relation to Hegel’s philosophy of history. In 1769 Herder wrote a critique of the work Genius seculi by the philologist Christian Adolph Klotz and introduced the word Zeitgeist into German as a translation of genius seculi (Latin: genius – “guardian spirit” and saeculi – “of the century”).

The German Romanticists habitually attempted to reduce the past to essences and treated the Zeitgeist as a historical character in its own right, rather than a generalized description for an era.
