Political systems across much of the West are now subject to populist
disruption, which often takes an anti-Constitutional form. This
interdisciplinary book argues that the current analysis of
anti-Constitutional populism, while often astute, is focused far too
narrowly. It is held here that due to an obscured complex of dynamics
that has shaped the history of the West since its inception and which
remains active today, we do not understand the present. This complex
not only explains the current disruptions across the fields of
contemporary religion, politics, economics and emerging artificial
intelligence but also how these disruptions derive each from originary
sources. This work thereby explains not only the manner in which this
complex has functioned across historical time but also why it is that
its inherent, unresolvable flaws have triggered the shifts between
these key fields as well as the intractability of these present
disruptions. It is this flawed complex of factors that has led to
current conflicts about abortion reform, political populism, the
failure of neoliberalism and the imminent quantum shift in generative
artificial intelligence. It is argued that in this, law is heavily
implicated, especially at the constitutional level. Presenting a
forensic examination of the root causes of all these disruptions, the
study provides a toolbox of ideas with which to confront these
challenges. This is a book of originality and significance, which will
make fascinating reading for academics and researchers working in the
areas of Socio-legal Studies, Legal Philosophy, Political Science,
Theology, AI and Neuroscience. The Open Access version of this book,
