We are a sensate society, according to sorokin. A society that is obsessed with the physical, the immediate, the temporal, the sensual (As opposed to the ideal, the spiritual, the transcendent, the embodied). This is no more obvious than in the artistic expressions that come out of our culture as well as our collective moral consciousness.There is little room for morality in this vision of life, at least a morality that is grounded in a transcendent source. For it disembodies virtue from the physical. It trivializes the body (all bodies, i.e. humanity, nature, art, etc.) and makes it a means to pleasure, a commodity, and a target of the will. This in itself destroys morality. For without essence, reality (and therefore morality) become the victims of perpetual violence as they are made and remade in the image of the human will. No doubt main-stream homosexuality is an expression (or celebration) of this world-view. It subverts nature, denies essence, disembodies morality, and embraces a solopsistic view of reality that revels in nihilism. It appears that Nietzche and foucault rule the West from their graves.
in a post industrial society, more production is geared towards luxury, leisure and convenience.and the post-industrial economy relates how?

Post-industrial just happens to be the time when western society was getting a real handle on removing religious influence from government.
And alleged moral codes? Which ones are you talking about, Christians repressing women, children & minorities? Fuck the Christians and their alleged god.
