This study manifests from the view of the theory of the overplus that the collapse of a modern civilizational bubble is inevitable, and it will play as a momentum in leading to the collapse of the Neo-Liberalism. In addition, it is predicted that the world history after the collapse of the world capitalism will shift to the stage of life-world. In other words, this study defines the shift from Neo-Liberalism to life-world as the transition of the 21st century's paradigm
The word "overplus" stressed in this thesis is equivalent to the modern civilizational bubble, which is described as things that have deviated from circulating system, losing communicative rationality such as industrial power bubble leading to overproduction, and technical civilization, which is out of the control of social morality of human beings. These civilizational bubble and the collapse of social and historical overplus are unavoidable and already underway.
However, it does not mean that the shift from the collapse of social and historical overplus to the life-world is automatic. Because the shift to the life-world is up to the human being's conscious choice and its practice, which are interpreted as the revolution of humanity - the diversion of life-style- , the meaning of the collapse of social and historical overplus is limited to a necessary condition for the shift to the life-world. In this sense, it is predicted that the issue on the revolution of humanity regarding the shift to the life-world will emerge as a core task to the transition of the 21st century's paradigm.
