Eidos by Lichen

If the philosophical concept of "Eidos" define the "visible" and "intelligible" forms of the universe, in the platonic idealism, it also transcends times and metaphysics. "Eidos" represents at the same time the treasure and the burden of human society : an infinite yet destructive source of knowledge and power, which is not a physical substance but an idea, a conceptual abstraction reached by the fierous intellect of humankind. Maybe "Eidos" is not as stable and immutable as antic philosophers said, maybe "Eidos" is also this strange archetype which expresses our greed, our arrogance our and noxious madness - destroying each other, in the law of a self-proclaimed alienation.
