Abstract: Abstract ‘Turning Point’, ‘the turning point’, is what Capra calls his famous work (Capra, Turning Point, Knaur, 1988). However, if one considers the headlines of recent years, one might be more inclined to say that we live in a ‘time of crisis’, in which one crisis replaces the next; in a time when crises occur in parallel all over the globe, disappear, only to reappear somewhere else with even more devastating effects. Capra saw this in the nineteen eighties more as a perception crisis of the western world, today, however, one gets the impression that these are empirical events: ‘stock market chaos’, ‘raw material crisis’, ‘chaos instead of Arab spring’, ‘democracy crisis’, ‘impending collective old-age poverty’, ‘energy chaos’, ‘earthquake disasters’, ‘euro crisis’, ‘financial crisis’, ‘refugee crisis’, ‘globalisation trap’, ‘hunger disasters’, ‘climate catastrophe’, ‘Middle East conflict’, ‘political trust crisis’, ‘reactor disasters’, ‘revolutions’, ‘debt crisis’, ‘tsunami chaos’, ‘economic crisis’ etc.
