Résumé

The world is governed by an entity which can be defined as omnipotent. Any reasonable person can believe it's true, easily, since the evolution of world history takes place unconsciously and unexpectedly, and it is also unpredictable for scholars of "social sciences" and the rulers, even the most powerful. That such an entity is to be defined as "good" and "that does justice", only those who have had, from the same entity, the "grace" of an irrational faith, can believe it.
Such irrational faith seems to allow you to place the maximum trust in such entity right in the periods of more apathy. In historical periods when, instead, there is greater emphasis fideistic (which ends, often, in the fanaticism), you end up believing the entity which it is object of faith (that religions have identified in one, or more, deities, and the non-religious people, in less sacred entity, but equally abstract, such as the "Proletariat") as needing the intervention and human support (in the form of: wars, riots or revolutions).
Such "voluntary" positions arouse accusations of "blasphemy" by those who have positions "fatalistic" or "confidants in the Providence" (for those who have religious views), while arouse accusations of "treason" (for those who have "secular" conceptions or political-social type). All this shows that: the "goodness", the "fairness" and the "morality", attributed to the entity that dominates the world, is simply a justification of historical reality, since the mere finding of reality can't leave doubt about the real: unfairness, lack of freedom and morality, of all of historic reality.
Sociologists speak, by always, of the "St. Matthew's Law", to indicate the sentence given by the evangelist Matthew at the verse 25-29, uttered by Jesus Christ: "For to everyone who has will be given, and he shall have abundance; but to those who has not, it shall be taken away even what he has". Everyone can easily see how the world, namely: each society, where more where less, is based on this principle.
All (or most people) they would make false papers in order to have a modicum of power or influence on other people. But no one, not only politicians and bureaucrats, they love (and, even, they accept, easily, ) of assume liability for the consequences of the choices generated by that power. To exempt, the deities, by any liability for the resulting harm to their power and authority, they have done this the theologians, who have invented, specifically, the concept of "arbitrariness free", that would be endowed, for this theory, humans, which they would be, therefore, the only ones responsible for all the "moral evil" which exists in the world.
To induce the gods (of any religion or ideology), by definition, omnipotents, to assume their responsibilities, you will need to make human beings fully responsible for their own actions, or truly free and, especially, authentically mature, regardless of the so-called "free will". The dominant culture of various historical societies, with the support of religions, identifies everything, that is: the good, the well and the right, with what is foreign to human beings: God, religion, the Church, the Ethics and the State.
Conversely, all that is: evil, vicious, unfair, irrational; is identified with human beings, who need to feel that their most authentic needs are responsible for all the evil that there is in the world and therefore must rely, at dead body, in the hands of these external entities with respect to oneself, or "transcendental", disregarding their being more authentic, in order to be "saved". The reversal of this vision of reality, it is a precondition for a radical change in the human condition, will be the beginning of human redemption, and the instrument for the attainment of happiness!

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Giano Rocca

Giano Rocca was born in a small village in the Langhe, called Roccaverano, from parents of humble origins. After completing his primary school studies, he moved to Turin, where he attended secondary school and the University, enrolling in the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy. He was a pupil of the political philosopher Norberto Bobbio. He attended school institutions supporting himself with his work, employed by the large local industry, then called "FIAT".
His interests can be summarized in the study of "social" and "human" sciences, although he soon realized that knowledge in these sectors had not yet reached the episteme of science. He was primarily determined to carry out an analysis of history capable of compensating for the gaps and contradictions of current conceptions and, in particular, of Marxist analysis, whose alleged "scientific essence" has been falsified by the anti-communist revolutions that have occurred in the Soviet Union and in the countries of realized Socialism, especially in Eastern Europe.
The published books aim to provide an overall view of the human condition, with particular attention to the historical reality of societies based on statehood, analyzing them in their structural complexity and their historical dynamics, to identify the possible outcome of human evolution itself. He developed the concept of degrees of civilizing, identifying the fifth level of civilizing in the "closed societies", or feudal ones, while in the "open societies", or mercantile ones, he identified the sixth level of civilizing.
The sixth level of civilizing, however, appears neither irreversible, nor automatically a harbinger of further progress, which progress can only come from a metamorphosis, or palingenesis, of the human condition, which undermines the very presuppositions of organic-stratified societies, of to which the societies based on statehood, as a whole, are but the most advanced examples. To accomplish this palingenesis, neither the "class struggle" nor the social and political revolutions are suitable.
It is necessary to rethink, in depth, the causes of the formation of the historical structural reality and, once the remedies have been identified, apply them to individuals and their inter-personal relationships, a premise for overcoming the conflict between individuality and sociality, defined by philosophers as the great "social problem". It is necessary to lay the foundations for the planning and creation of a sociality cons...
