Nihilism and spiritual
Gorgias market ,
The downside of nihilist
"Against the obsession with death , the subterfuges of hope as the arguments of reason are ineffective . " Cioran
In the broadest sense , nihilism is the doctrine denying the existence of an absolute. In absolute terms, it means , God , the afterlife , heaven and hell etc. .
Some philosophy books are starting this trend with the Sophists * .
* Protagoras , Gorgias , Prodicus , Antiphon , Hippias of Elis ,
In this world of sophistry , philosophy could erect as the basis of nihilism , Gorgias this famous sentence : " Nothing exists . If something exists , that something can not be understood , much less known by man. Even if he was, his apprehension is not communicable to others. " Only by asking the assumption : "If something exists ," the Sicilian philosopher extract in my opinion, part of the nihilist . It ranks that at least the side of agnostics. Merely imagine that the "thing" (ie , God) to exist, * the same sets of the spiritual side . The definitions of Gorgias , are also very close to those of theologians.
* Even if you can not understand or communicate this thing .
Nihilism and scientific and industrial progress
From the XIX century , the dazzling progress has occasionally directed the Western world to a certain nihilism. Spiritual reflection then found excluded from the sphere of influence of power.
The separation of church and state is not in question . It is a good thing for the state and for the church. But nature , remind people cultivated , abhors a vacuum . The market has quickly imposed instead of the spiritual as advised strong again. And this is where the rub.
Indeed , the market is naturally nihilistic . It focuses primarily on hardware. He loves above all earthly urges, domination. The spiritual is not interested . It even has a tendency to isolate not to undergo its critical and moral . Advising the policy , the market breathes its venal impulses. Since this new alliance , the Western powers are left without spiritual counterweight. And yet , only the spiritual can give meaning to humanity.
The absence of moralizing
The dominant system needs to be strong enough against powers , to balance it. Contradictors deeply rooted in morality, ethics, spirituality and philosophy he must . It needs a power able to oppose a strong resistance to its nihilistic design . It needs to fit to contradict such thoughts values * that : "After me the deluge ."
* This means that values such as generosity , universality, altruism , humility , in short all the sublimity advocated by the religious, wise , and philosopher .
The spiritual and the dominant
Before the development of the market, served as spiritual guide to the dominant . Religious acted as a safeguard . There were shamans among warlords . Philosophers in the entourage of Greek kings (and Mongolian ) and goshawks church of the kings of France . The world then was not perfect but spiritual values circulated . They protected the fragile population of any dominant power . do not forget that the greatest atrocities of the twenty-first century * were committed under the auspices of nihilism.
* The carnage of the First World War the Nazi monstrosities like the Communists horrors
Nihilism market
A nihilistic immersion
This is nihilistic .
Since the early 8O * we can see a return of * primary values .
* The dominance , selfishness , hoarding , elitism , are leading to violence worldwide ..
We will have the opportunity to study a little deeper this contemporary phenomenon. Obviously there is no question of recalling the religious from the political . It seems only necessary to redo a spiritual place in the Western world . It seems desirable to add to the industrialized powers , Human beings have a universal vision and long-term . It seems vital to progress towards a peaceful and conscious evolution * .
* a change with the ideas of sharing, compassion, love of others, etc. .
A good, bad?
This chapter is primarily critical and controversial . The use of certain adjectives (upper primary, etc. . , ) Are used for this purpose. These are not value judgments . In fact, each type of trends could be placed in either group.
The trend towards solidarity for example, can become bad for others if it remains in a state of dependence or war ...
Instead, clanicité can be a good help when fighting a criminal justice system ( in the image of the resistance).
Moreover, according to my theory , the result of positive and negative trends , eventually enrich the positive evolution of humanity . In other words, all critical in this site are intended to make a cataleptic effect on some ambient deafness and certain behaviors dominant particularly revolting .
