This essay is presented as a key to understanding our present history and a possible future ever closer.

The end of history cannot have come with neoliberalism, as Fukuyama announced. The universal spirit, according to Hegel, follows a dialectical process between two opposite poles whose tension culminates in their synthesis. Just as salmon, which returns to its birthplace to die and spawn, the universal spirit, after passing through Europe and stopping in Silicon Valley, returns to the origin, which Hegel identifies in China. Here we find the synthesis between liberal capitalism and communism. Artificial intelligence will be its new tool of economic-technological power, which will succeed in unseating the human being. Perhaps then human history will come to an end.

With a wealth of ideas and the use of powerful symbols and images, Moritz Rudolph offers us a philosophy of history through an original and provocative narrative that goes beyond the limits of the usual theoretical categories. The essay is presented as a key to understanding our present history and a possible future ever closer.
