"The Fifth Empire" (theory)

"The Fifth Empire" is a historical and philosophical concept that suggests a future world order characterized by global unity and peace, often rooted in spiritual ideals. Originating from Portuguese poet and philosopher Fernando Pessoa, it envisions a collective awakening that transcends nationalism and cultural divides, promoting cooperation and shared values among humanity. This theory is sometimes linked to the idea of a significant transformation in society, where technological advancement and ethical consciousness pave the way for a harmonious global community, often represented as the culmination of historical empires and movements aimed at improving human existence.
