Of all the means utilized to limit political prerogatives – laws, morality, economics and technology – morality is most likely the most dangerous. She is presently deprived of any transcendence, mutated in the "moralin" (Nietzsche) and led to what Arnold Gehlen aptly called "hypermorality", i.e. the hypertrophic morality.
The common good is simply a political nonsubjective that can only be achieved by political means. Even if it succeeds in acting solely in the name of “values” and “moral” demands, the political interests and goals behind them should be sought.
New morality describes what society should become
The erstwhile morality defined individual principles of conduct. The society was supposedly better if the people who made them behaved well. On the another hand, the fresh morality wants to moralize society itself. The erstwhile morality told people what to do; the fresh describes what society should be and what society should be. It is not so much that people should behave well as society must become more "fair". In another words, the moral postulate was transferred to the planet in general. alternatively of moral entities, we want “moral” situations, or ones that correspond to social canons of dominant ideology. The full community is now reinterpreted in the light of being-thinking. due to this, modern societies can be simultaneously hyper-deceptive and hyper-moral, carrying omnipresent moralism promoted by their devout followers, missionaries and virtuous ones. The “hypermorality” condemned by Gehlen leads to a situation where ideas and facts are assessed solely on the basis of their ideological usefulness.
The law is corrupted by morality
Chantal Delsol He's right erstwhile he says “The orgy of virtue we experience present means that morality has become a religion”. Originally, however, morality had nothing to do with religion. The religions of ancient times were a sphere of beliefs and rituals, not morality, which, as etymology shows, first afraid morality (citationals), then referred to socialism and later to philosophy. The combination of religion and morality that seems so natural to us present was an act of redemption religion: God of monotheism is simply a moral God and so Friedrich Nietzsche He could only declare “the death of God” after the presentation of the genealogy of morality (to him morality is simply a way of exercising power). Completely detached from concrete morality established primarily abstract basic principles. Finally, she polluted the law by developing a concept of justice that was more in the spirit of the Torah, being-thinking than the Greek concept nomosu. It is no longer about receiving what is due to him and encouraging people to do good, but about changing the planet so that it becomes more "righteous." This is the basis of the ideology of human rights.
This is besides accompanied by a constant confusion between private and public morality. The adoption of 1 asylum seeker is an act of goodness; the adoption of millions at the expense of the host population is simply a criminal act. Turning the another cheek and loving enemies are noble attitudes, but politically suicidal. The issue of immigration no longer concerns the common good, but moral compassion. The thought of Europe's 'everlasting debt' towards all kinds of 'victims' is not a political but moral thought either.
New Moral Order
Today, as he writes Pierre Mann, “The universal Christian ministry increasingly coincides with the religion of God’s image”. erstwhile it comes to the work to “help one’s neighbor”, it is apparent that the aim is to transfer what is close to what is far away. In parallel, Eros was put aside for Agape: “Love 1 Another” (Jn 13:34), established without further explanation, is simply a universalistic principle. Humanistic universalism processes the Christian virtues of love, compassion and equality. Repentance is simply a moral phenomenon: mea culpaconfession, asking for forgiveness on your knees. It is an ideology of repentance, revived by resentment and aimed at instilling guilt and self-denial.
In his comedy Don Juan.Stone guy (1655) Molier states: “Hypocrisis is simply a defect that has entered fashion, and all flaws that enter fashion are considered virtue”. "Who says humanity wants to cheat... (Carl Schmitt quotes Pierre-Joseph Proudhon). Today, the planet has fallen into the hands of a dangerous species of “benefactors of mankind”. Even wars have become “humanitarian wars”. The fresh planet Order is primarily the fresh Moral Order.
This expanding wave of morality can be observed in all areas. Regardless of whether it is literary production, movie production or relations between men and women, everything must now pass through a filtering sieve of “moralities”. Morality is repentance. Morality is simply a request to receive all immigrants. Morality is simply a hug therapy for villains. Moral are those policies that favour minorities, not workers. The hatred of history, which is the driving force of the Cassation Culture, is explained by the fact that past is not moral: it is tragic, and what is tragic is opposed to morality. The Madness of explanation gender in themselves they are part of a moral endeavor to believe that justice coincides with sex equality, without a word about the way in which production is known to make social inequality and the resulting division into classes.
Ethics vs Morality
In the end, fact and falsehood are no longer important, but good and evil. Camp good versus camp evil. The ruling ideology views itself as a kingdom of good, so demonizing its opponents. Morality has been oppressive in the past. It now coincides with the kingdom of stupidity and moral preaching from the United States. We are witnessing the awesome return of Anglo-Saxon Puritanism. Yesterday it was a temperance movement, present it's a virtue league. The eventual goal always remains the same: to replace verticality with horizontality, misogynia misoandria, patriarchate matriarchatem, what rooted, monadami hors sol, not attached to reality; what is real, virtual, authentic – artificial, nations – individuals, heroes – victims, I like to meet destiny – surrender to destiny understood as repentance.
There is besides a difference between morality and ethics. The latter, inseparably linked to both the circumstantial context (ethos ♪ Oh, yeah ♪ ethnos), as well as the aesthetic worldview, is very different from morality in its present sense. Morality lays down rules, ethics gives examples; morality is universal, ethics is not. Ethics is based on honor, morality on abstract words. Moral misconduct is simply a sin; ethical misconduct expresses a deficiency of attitude. We must not defy the increasing morality of immorality, but the ethics of honor, courage and self-confidence.
Alain de Benoist
Alain de Benoist (born 1943 in Saint-Symphorien, now part of Tours) studied constitutional law, religion and philosophy. As a creator Think-tank GREECE, formed in 1968, is simply a co-founder of French Nouvelle Droite (The fresh Right.) De Benoist works as a writer and philosopher in Paris. He is editor of traditionalist book magazines “Nouvelle École” and “Krisis”, as well as the permanent author of the bimonthly “éléments”. His more than 100 books have been translated into many languages. His most crucial publications are a 2 - volume work From the Right Viewpoint and manifest Revolt of Cultures. It is besides worth mentioning the key work Cultural Revolution from the Right and Against Liberalism, published by Jungeuropa Verlag.
Alain de Benoist is simply a leading figure of the European School of Thinking, whose goal seems as clear as far-reaching: overcoming neoliberal and left-liberal reasoning with all its political, economical and social paradigms.
