The work contemplates the existential anxieties of humanity in the face of modern scientific knowledge and its implications for spirituality and the future. Loti's exploration grapples with ideas of cosmic uncertainty, the nature of existence, and the human condition, set against the backdrop of World War I. The opening of this work delves into the historical understanding of the universe, referencing ancient cosmography that depicted the earth and stars in a simplistic manner. Loti reflects on how these primordial musings contrast starkly with contemporary thoughts of vast emptiness and existential dread. He examines the implications of humanity's increasing knowledge of the cosmos, questioning the nature of stability and destiny against an overwhelming backdrop of chaos and uncertainty. Through poetic language and evocative imagery, Loti articulates the heavy burden of knowledge that leads to a spiral of anxiety about humanity's place in a tumultuous universe.
