Sorokin thought that society was faced with a monumental crisis during World War II, and would seek salvation in a new Ideational period....though Sorokin seemed to hope that we would go directly to a new Idealistic period.
On the other hand, Sorokin didn't anticipate a period of peace and prosperity after the War. Though it
seems that his prediction of Sensate exhaustion-at least artistically-appears correct.
What if society manages to muddle along for a lengthy period? Well, Sorokin mentioned in passing a Mixed, Eclectic period. I wish he had elaborated. Could he have been referring to something like New Age spirituality?
