destiny vs history

from "the rebel" by albert camus (1956)

"Already, as we can see, the great problem of modern times arises: the discovery that to rescue man from destiny is to deliver him to chance. That is why the contemporary mind is trying so desperately hard to restore destiny to man- a historical destiny this time."

Historical destiny has been enthroned in our modern ways of thinking- the dimensionless straight lines which our imaginations impose on everything around us. Man is trapped in history, each of us living a narrative with a supposedly predictable outcome. Delivery to chance, to the omniverse of acausal connection, reducing the bias of the eye, balancing the senses and deconditioning sensual experience- this is the end of history.
