Metaphysically speaking, the origin of the Western Culture crisis roots in the philosophical project of Duns Scotus and William of Ockham. This Project emerges as a fearful reaction to the Aristotelian paganism trying to protect Christian revelation. It means a Theo-anthropological pessimism from which the late medieval thinkers leave behind the understanding of man as a ‘capax Dei’ being. This historical situation dragged on time leaded to an existential despair. Being aware of this allows us to understand the modern Project as a inner phenomenon and the so called kulturkrisis as an anthropological crisis of collective dimensions.
