Hit the West

polityka-narodowa.pl 3 years ago

We live in a time of unprecedented Western hegemony, identified with the United States of North America. This country is simply a mention point for liberals in all corner of the planet who want to transplant solutions from the centre on the periphery. Both ideology and pragmatic issues are encouraging. The first can include democracy, freedom of the individual unfettered by any duties, as well as the invisible hand of the market, which is to be a remedy for the problems of humanity. In turn, pragmatic motivations are of a mercantical nature, as real financial benefits are in favour of US support. The sense of belonging to the camp of winners is besides of large importance. According to the author of this article, a situation where 1 country dominates and imposes, frequently in a forceful way, its solutions are detrimental to peaceful coexistence and at the same time impoverishes the local and national traditions of each country.

This text is formative. The author will effort to specify concepts and approximate the past of the discipline of civilization, in order to base on a suitable technological apparatus then present the roots of Western civilization and present the chronology of its mutation from a pure form in a degenerate form that now dominates. The final chapter will present a concept of what to do to change the reality around us.

Ideas are crucial to average people due to the fact that they find a real contribution to their lives in a worldview, economy and culture layer.

(a) civilizational concepts

In the cultural, technological circulation, the phrase is always used: Western civilization. It is so common that it is uncommon to find out what is actually under these words. This wording includes 2 concepts independent of each other: civilization and the West. Their definition and definition is essential to realize what we are dealing with.

Civilization belongs to terms out of focus and defined differently by luminaries of science. 1 of the top scholars of civilization science, widely recognized authority, Felix Koneczny[1] wrote:

"Cyvilizacs – is the sum of everything that is common to a certain part of humanity; and at the same time, the sum of all that is so different from others. Civilization is simply a method of collective life. (...) The Definiciency is extended enough; it includes art and science, ethics and legislation, economics, education, communication, etc., due to the fact that all of this belongs to collective life. Any sign of civilization in any area is part of collective life. He does not make a civilised man alone, but a social man among people”[2].

It follows from the above that we can only talk about civilization if there is simply a certain collective, not individual, alienated individuals. specified a community should be guided by a primary premise that organizes the full of life in the community. An crucial issue, complementing the above definition, is to emphasise the meaning of the alleged Quinkunx, or civilization-creation factor. It is the author's historical concept of Koneczny, which sought a method according to which individual types of civilization can be classified. In this five-name existence he distinguished:

  1. Good as spiritual value.
  2. Truth as a spiritual value.
  3. Health as a bodily value.
  4. Prosperity as a bodily value.
  5. Beauty combining both of these aspects.

Concisely, he emphasized that there may be civilizations that do not meet all conditions, but in this case they are defective, mowed. The perfect kind must take into account the duality of human nature consisting of a physical and spiritual aspect, which is reflected on the level of civilization in technology and morality. Conceived for specified a civilization full, throughout the past of the world, he recognized only Latin civilization.

Another concept was presented by British historian Arnold Toynbee[3] in his monumental, 12-volume survey of History[4]. He felt that individual historical events became full understandable erstwhile they were embedded in a larger whole. The effects of peculiar wars and economical and social processes cross the borders of cities, national states and another territorial units. Therefore, they should be embedded in more time-space of history, that is, individual civilizations. Toynbee in his historical concept distinguished 5 stages of the improvement of civilization:

  1. Genesis.
  2. Growing.
  3. A breakdown.
  4. Disintegration.
  5. The timetable.

It is worth noting that not crossing all stages did not automatically imply that a given community could not be called civilization. Therefore, in this concept, civilizations are distinguished: full, aborted and halted in development. Toynbee, unlike the unification concept of civilization, was a follower of the pluralistic improvement concept. All civilizations are not going to melt into unity, which, according to Western historians, is just symbolized by Western civilization. Yes, the fact is that the West is the most developed and imposes its economical concepts on another civilizations. However, this does not invalidate the crucial cultural differences that are more important.

Arnold Toynbee's concept assumed that the test of all developed civilization was the ability to decision from the primitive phase to the "calling" of universal religion. The growth of human past is symbolized by the growth of spiritual forces. past appears as a pursuit of spiritual ideals[5].

Another noteworthy look at civilization's explanation is Oswald Spengler's concepts[6]. In His Canonical Work[7] presented a way to analyse the state of civilization. He felt that culture was primal and, according to the improvement of biological organisms, it besides developed according to a scheme: the first period, the flowering and the fall. Then at the end of the final phase it turns into a civilization. Culture constituted for Spengler something basic, uncomplicated and circumstantial related to tiny human communities. And civilization is already formalized, conventional and artificial. Created by intellectuals for large communities like the Nation or the State.

It is worth emphasizing that urbanization for Spengler is something precisely other to another theorists of civilization. This is not a improvement and a symbol of something greater, but only evidence of the collapse of the world, which is ruled by algorithms of rationality and artificial conventions of tomized human masses.

Spengler distinguishes 8 different civilizations, but only 3 different types in which these civilizations contain. That is:

  1. The Apollo kind characteristic of the ancient world. It was crucial to him: concreteness, physicality, sensuality and carnality.
  2. Faustian kind – identified with Western civilization to modern Spengler. Man of this era was inclined to reflect, build broad thought constructs that separate him from real life. He compensated himself with dynamism and activism.
  3. Magic kind – characteristic of another civilizations, e.g. Arabic. In this kind everything was indeterminate and poorly rationalized, but it was highly intuitive, metaphysical and esoteric.

Spengler's imagination was pessimistic and determined by biology and historianism. It was a manifestation of the dominant tendencies of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Europe, namely the dominance of empirical sciences and the schematicity of the perception of history, as an alternate development[8].

A completely different, sociological, imagination of past was presented by sociologist Norbert Elias[9]. In His Work About the Process of Civilization[10]presented the past of human communities as fluid and constantly "becoming". The process of civilization is simply a process that is never completed and focused on constantly expanding the control of its emotions. Not only historical, economical changes are in the orbit of the scholar's interest, but besides the most prosaic ones, as the titles of the individual chapters of the book indicate: “about being at the table”, “about being in the bedroom”. An crucial advantage of specified a look is not to lose sight in the process of civilization of ordinary, grey people and to emphasize the procedural nature of history.

Based on the civilization theories cited here, the author of the temptation to present his own knowing of the concept of civilization. Civilization is the product of a human community crossing the borders of states and nations, which is embedded in a given historical period. It is characterized by having a primal rule (idea) organizing a given ecumen and different from another blocks of civilization. The most basic and essential skill of each civilization is the way of conveying information and communicating between different generations, that is, sine qua non is the ability to write, make past and communicate it. Without this, there can be no accumulation process in the course of history. Each full civilization undergoes a period of insurgency, growth, dominance, disintegration and disappearance. Civilizations are different and correspond to the crucial characteristics of the peoples making them up. There are presently respective civilizations that correspond to the above definition. These are:

  • Western Civilization
  • Turkish Civilization
  • Islamic Civilization
  • Chinese Civilization
  • Hindu Civilization

The discussion is the existence of Latin American, nipponese or African civilization. The author does not admit their separateness due to the fact that they do not have a different way of organizing life from others. And so it is now possible to delegate Latin American or nipponese to Western civilization, while African, as such, does not be at the present time, despite the attempts made[11].

(b) Definition of Western

The concept of the West can be understood in many ways, there are respective definitions:

  1. One of the world's directions, a bargain west.
  2. The West identified in Felix Koneczne's concept with Latin civilization, which extended Europe. It full occurred during the mediate Ages.
  3. The West as a concept of the modern planet created as a consequence of the philosophical reflection of the Enlightenment period, spiritual changes of the Reformation time, economical transformations of the Capitalism era. full implemented since the large French Revolution.
  4. The West was understood as a squad of first planet countries, the United States of North America and their allies, during the Cold War. The concept of surviving in opposition to the countries of the second world, namely communist and socialist states headed by the russian Socialist Republics Union.

It should be stressed that the concept of the West from the position of another civilizations or cultures is highly contractual. Mircea Eliade[12] in their texts, published in Poland in the form of anthology[13]He pointed out that all communities considered themselves the Center of the known world. From specified a perspective, the West and any another direction of the planet will mean something different to everyone. It follows that the concept of the West is simply a Euro-centric product which represents a strong evidence to the triumph of our civilisation and the imposition of our optics in historiography. And as you know, “History Writes Winners”[14].

For the purposes of this Article, the concept of lowercase west shall be identified with geography. And the word West in capital letters will be equal to the definition of 3rd which is mentioned above.

Sources of Western Civilization

Greece

The wheel of our continent, where we all come from, is ancient Greece. It was there that ideas, teachings and ways of life were born, which to this day radiate to Western peoples. After the dark ages of the 8th century B.C.E., lands in the land called Hellada flourished. A distinctive structure of the community inhabiting the area, called policy. It is frequently translated into Polish as a ‘state-town’, which does not full reflect the reality. First of all, it was a political community of self-government citizens residing in the area, limited by geographical conditions (mountain) of Greece. That is erstwhile the concept of politics was born, that is, the art of directing public affairs in the interests of the community. And here we come to the second feature of the policy community, which was a large diversity of assets. The social spectrum extended from esthloi (precious), by agathoi (good, valuable) to kakoi (bad, mean).[15] It is worth mentioning that among citizens policy were excluded foreigners and slaves. Aristotle wrote: “Man is by nature made to live in a state. Anyone who lives outside the community of politics must be either a chaotic animal or a god.”[16] Citizens were obliged to carry out military service, although applicable implementation of the service depended mostly on the position of property. Everyone participated in public life by participating in discussions taking place on agoras as well as by performing public functions. Another element, which greatly cemented the community of politics, was the confession of spiritual worship publicly. The success of the community depended on the favour of the gods, which could be begged through the offerings and virtuous life of the inhabitants.

Another crucial component of ancient Greece was the birth of philosophy, or 1 of two, alongside theology, universal teachings treating the planet as a whole. In the seventh century BC, the first philosophers appear from the alleged Ionian school at the head of the protoplast Tales of Milet. They search the large origin (arche) the emergence of the world. With the following centuries, the focus of doctrine expanded and 3 classical chapters of doctrine developed, i.e.:

  • Metaphysics (philosophy first, ontology) – learning about being and its structure.
  • Epistemology (other than Gnoseology) – learning about knowledge.
  • Ethics – discipline on Morality

The breakthrough was the very fact of reasoning about the world's powers of reason, alternatively than, as yet, receiving reflective signals from nature.

At this point, 2 philosophers are worth mentioning, who have imprinted on the meaning of reality: Plato and Aristotle. The first was the father of metaphysical and political idealism. He created a explanation that all thing in the real planet is just an imperfect reflection of what is in the perfect world. He advocated the hierarchy of ideas. He stood on a pedestal interest of the community to be raised in the triad: Truth, Good and Beautiful. Aristotle, on the another hand, claimed that ideas do not constitute a separate existence, and that 1 is only entitled to substance, or concrete. This discrimination will constitute the origin of later philosophical disputes. We besides owe the Sage of Stagira an accurate systemic classification, which in a way corresponds to what Plato wrote.

Plato Aristotle

A just kingdom. Kingdom.

Aristocracy. Aristocracy.

Democracy is fair. Politej.

Democracy is unfair. Tyranny.

Oligarchy. Oligarchy.

Tyranny. Democracy.

As we can see from the above, a policy understood as a practice of good governance in the interests of the community, doctrine as a reflection on the reality around us, as well as the conceptual network of all public things.

Rome

Among the sources of Western civilization is the past of ancient Rome. The city is founded according to the legend by Romulus in 753 B.C.E. is simply a mention point for all scientist of civilization. The first period, called the Royal Rome, passed in the shadow of Etruscan domination. The primary social unit was the family, and the higher the permanent families that brought the related families together. The monarchs had power, and the legislature was simply an advisory body. The impulse of the Roman state's improvement was the fall of the monarchy in 509 B.C.E. and the emergence of the times of Republican Rome. Expanding the vector of politics from individual to community, combined with the famine of the earth occurring in the ever-growing demographic Roman ecumen, caused an detonation of expansion to surrounding lands. Rome’s predominance was reflected in the way the state was organized. After each conquest, they were embedded in part of their own land as part of the alleged colony. The conquered peoples were organized in the municipia getting a certain amount of autonomy in interior affairs in exchange for providing military assistance to the metropolis. any of the people of the municipia received Roman citizenship without political rights. This inclusive character, so different from exclusive Greek policies, multiplied Roman patriots. Despite the conquest and the existence of a consensus towards the invaders from Rome, it was hoped to rise its position through successive territorial conquests and participation in frukts as winners. There were besides alliances (foedus), which the Romans included to get military quotas (auxilia). The peoples of the alliance could not enter into agreements between themselves in order not to undermine Rome's dominance.

The organization of Rome itself deserves attention due to the fact that we announcement in it the foundation of modern administration. The ultimate authority was the Assembly of the Roman People, which divided into:

  • Centurial commission organized following the division of citizens into wealth classes. These elected elder officials (magisters): consuls – in charge of war cases; forerunners – who kept order in the city and so had civilian and criminal jurisdiction; censors who were tasked with carrying out property listings and assigning the citizen to a appropriate centre, besides cared for public morality.

In addition, the centurial commissions determined war and peace.

  • Tribus commissions were divided into territorial districts from which they were voted. The work was to pass laws and to choice lower officials: edyls dealing with city supplies and quaestors liable for financial affairs.
  • The Plebeic Commission, which constituted an organ of the poor. They chose a national grandstand to care for the best interests. He had veto law and enjoyed immunity.

The legislature played an increasingly crucial function over time, which was tangible evidence of the continuity of Roman rule. He grouped erstwhile officials[17].

Another contribution to the vault of European culture was Roman law, which clearly and transparently organised the lives of the increasing community in both criminal and civilian matters. It remains an open question whether the progressive jurisdiction of social relations was not a fruitful subsoil for a formalistic approach to human relationships.

Jerusalem

A city symbol for 3 monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam and the most important, Western civilization, Christianity.

The birth of Christianity through the teaching of Jesus Christ was a turning point in the ethical and symbolic sphere. God himself, so far unavailable to humans, descended from his Olympus and became 1 of us. He became closer and more understandable to man. He preached mercy and justice, not just blind vengeance for his moral sins. The fresh religion besides rehabilitated the poor, the lame, from the social lowlands. So far, all religion has been an elite religion that has been in charge of public worship. And here came a kind of democratization of beliefs and exaltation of those who were the margins of history.[18].

Breakthrough moments of Western civilization

According to Armin Mohler's concept[19], who wrote about the timeline after crossing which everything is different, I present a short chronology of key moments in the past of Western civilization:

  1. A dispute about universality – started in ancient times. It exploded in the mediate Ages. It afraid whether ideas and concepts existed outside the human head and language. The winner in this dispute was the nominalists who claim that man is the creator of all concepts, ideas and languages. This opened the way to negation of the ontological idealism which the authorship of all things attributed to the Absolute. This was the beginning of the discord between religion and discipline and consequently led to an antagonization of these 2 spheres.
  2. Renaissance – a movement started in the 13th century in Italy, began to radiate throughout Europe in the 16th century. He was at the center of human reality, not God, as so far. This was an anthropocentric coup, where the vertical position was replaced by a horizontal vision.[20]
  3. Religious Reformation – started in the 16th century. It's broken. civitas christiana for peculiar confessions and denominations. Something that brought people together was irretrievably lost.
  4. The birth of capitalism – it was a process extended for many centuries in the modern period. The logic of helping one’s neighbour was replaced by a contractual imagination of reality and motivation, as much profit as possible.
  5. The French Revolution – destroyed the old, conventional world. It opened the way for fresh ideologies (liberalism, socialism, nationalism) which negated the organic social unity, which so far, at least declaratively, existed. This revolution was a political coup.
  6. The Bolshevik Revolution – was a circumstantial exemplification of the thesis that the masses entered the arena of history. The egalitarian ideas replaced the imagination of elite reality and social relations. It was a social coup.
  7. The 1968 revolution – the last bastion, or morals, collapsed as a consequence of the student revolution carried out in the major European states, i.e. France and the national Republic of Germany. Tribuneism, a light approach to the most intimate issues were signs of reconnaissance revolts. If the causes of revolution, or criticism of capitalism,[21], were otherwise justified, its consequences were mourned.

As we can see from the above consistently, step by step, another bastions of Western civilization fell.

What do I do?[22]

After the criticism of Western civilization done above, so as not to be seen as an unproductive competitor, it is appropriate to present a affirmative programme whose implementation would contribute to the transformation of the West into a vibrant civilization. The author will confine himself to raising the most crucial issues according to the concept of Fernand Braudel[23], known in historiography as “long lasting”. This theory, which uses comprehensively from various sciences (history, geography, sociology, religion, etc.), assumes that short-term events, in political and conflict guesses, are of the least importance for assessing processes taking place in a given area. The ellipse above is set up by economical change, and above all by civilisation-religious issues. This is simply a concept known more broadly as “total history”[24]. For the sake of clarity, the various requests will be addressed in separate points.

1) The primacy of economical policy

At present, the primacy of economical affairs is clear. Material and mundane matters are set on pedestal. Modern man was only brought to the cog in the large economical machinery. The criticism of this state of affairs was made from various sides of the ideological barricade. The accents were spread differently, but the postulate was identical. Let's bring the character here, as a typical of the conservative side, Carl Schmitt[25]. In turn, Herbert Marcuse should be mentioned as an antipod of ideas[26]. Both advocated breaking up with the perception of man only as homo oeconomicus, giving primacy to matters of political making. specified a reesteem of reasoning would be a blow to the very heart of the present system, which is based on instilling in people the belief that there is no alternate to the present state of affairs. To challenge this dogma can origin an avalanche of beneficial changes.

2. Polycentric planet

The United States of North America is an appellate hegemon of our time. past shows that the unrivalled primacy of 1 state organism over others leads to a failure of diversity in all area. The worldview, erstwhile all worldview news are exported, as the highest manifestation of enlightenment and modernity carried to backward natives.[27] Political due to the fact that 1 dominant form of the strategy is imposed on another global policy actors. In economics, erstwhile the dominant model in the center is transplanted literally, 1 to one, periphery[28]. And in the substance of social affairs, erstwhile it happens to westernize customs and traditions.

In a multi-polar world, a "offer" from which different countries could benefit would be much greater. It is worth to mention in support of this thesis the current activities of China, which care to grow their influence while respecting the diversity of local peoples and states. This is peculiarly evident on the African continent, where American interests and Chinese interests clash. Second, it is worth noting that in the planet of many players, with akin possible for civilisation, stableness in global relations dominates, which allows peace to be preserved.

3) Breaking the divided to the left and right

Alain de Benoist[29], typical of the fresh Right[30], rejects the conventional division, functioning from the French Revolution to the right and left. He believes that this concept has become obsolete in favour of a fresh axis of dispute between liberalism and antiliberalism. The biggest threat to Europe, due to the fact that she is the subject of reflection on this thinker, is liberalism sedated into the souls of Europeans by American influences.

The sin of modern people who profess conservative-national ideas is to wrongly find the enemy, which poses the top threat. How many thinkers, activists fight the nonexistent enemy of communism. Compromised ideology, which remained only as a figure in intellectual disputes, without a social, economical or political basis.

Today the top desolation is liberalism spread along with moral permissiveness by the Anglo-Saxon world. Not the right, not the left is important. The fresh division is simply a liberal and anti-liberal world. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can take countermeasures.

4) Back to transcendence

Western civilization is the first in the past of the planet to base its axiological foundations on transcendence. The God of Western civilization is an earthly god. He is simply a man deprived of his religious, national, state identity. Being himself a master and a rudder, or alternatively an unconscious hostage to the interests of the world's mighty. A prominent spiritual student Mircea Eliade in the course of his investigation noted that in all civilization, culture is simply a spiritual identity first and most crucial to man. The key to the revival of Western civilization is to reintroduction transcendence into mass circulation. At the present time in the West, religion, as a sociological phenomenon, understood as being professed by many and universally, goes to lame. Man, as a fragile being, needs to participate in the supernatural planet through the authentic, pure religion manifested in participation, in spiritual rites. The question of salvation is the most crucial of believers, but religion can besides be an crucial origin stabilising social relations in the state[31].

5) Interreligious Dialogue

After renewing the importance of transcendence in the West and returning religion to its due rank, another crucial challenge will be interreligious dialogue. Not 1 that deals with dogmatic substance of different confessions. It is, for understandable reasons, impossible. It is about cooperation on worldview and social affairs in opposition to the dominant tendencies of the modern, secular Western. Common opposition to abortion, euthanasia, legalization of homosexual unions, persecution of spiritual communities, transhumanism, etc. is possible and desirable. The first beginnings of specified dialog have already taken place[32]. The time of spiritual wars ended irretrievably. The challenges of the present times make clergymen of different denominations realize that there will be no area for homos without joint appearances and actions Religious.

6) fresh forms of economical life

The logic of capitalism, understood as maximizing profit, does not fit into a fresh dream planet filled with values in which a multidimensional man stands center. Today, the first planet to be identified with Western influence does not face famine or poverty. It is essential to redefine how to usage existing production surpluses in order to keep social stableness and, at the same time, alienated from society, economical elites must force them to service as servants to their fellowmen.[33]. The economical strategy must be restored to homeostasis, simple justice. How do we do that? We have the aid of a treasury of European thought. The Catholic social discipline [KNS] is useful for our consideration, which puts an worker at the centre of its deliberations alternatively than large capital. Catholic Church in Her Writings[34]argued that economical issues should be based on:

  • Justice
  • Love
  • Common Good
  • Subsidiary
  • Solidarity

Distributionism is an interesting complement to KNS[35]. It criticized both capitalism and socialism. He called for the spread of tiny private property in agriculture, manufacture and services.

Private ownership should not constitute an absolute dogma in the perfect state, as the interest of the community is higher than that of the individual. If an entity does not fulfil its obligations to the ecumen, it must be deprived of the excess of its assets. specified action would prevent the oligarchisation of the political world, where peculiar interests are higher than social solidarity. Better placed people have greater work for the destiny of the state and nation.

7) Cultural elite

The entry of the masses into the arena of past is an undeniable fact since the 19th century along with the second wave[36], or industrial revolution. Jose Ortega y Gasset wrote about the full process[37] in his widely recognized work – “Rebellion Mas”[38]. The births of mass culture were essential and consistent with the historical logic, and its parallel improvement with social development. However, it seems essential to accomplish the return of the elite of culture, where creators would be obliged to make works compatible with timeless canons of beauty in the service of society. A advanced culture would radiate to the crowds to rise moral and artistic fitness. Advanced methods of transmission of ideas in information societies let the full process to be carried out. The method is serviceable to ideas and cannot alienate itself from its obligations.

8) Rehabilitation of traditions of different peoples and cultures

The improvement of Western civilization was profoundly convinced of moral superiority towards another peoples and cultures. He was seen as an alternate historical necessity. This phenomenon was deep in the late 20th century[39]. Without negating the reasons for pride in the achievements of Western civilization at various stages of history, it is essential with all determination to put aside, repenting to this day, the patterns of authentic racism. Especially strong among Anglo-Saxon peoples who profess Protestantism[40].

The superiority of improvement at method level does not entitle itself to a claim of superiority in the field of political, cultural or, even more so, moral solutions. Each community should have the right to live according to its beliefs and eternal traditions. Universal uniformization and "mcdonalisation" of life impoverish local customs and pave the way for the control of man by the widely understood A strategy based on a “sell” imagination of man only as a consumer of manufactured goods.

9) Ethnicity

Respect for autonomous ways of developing another civilizations does not imply that Western civilization is to agree to destruct the remains of its erstwhile glory and greatness. Therefore, it is not possible to welcome people from another civilization circles inside their civilisation. Our problems should be solved by ourselves, not by individual else's hands. all people has the right to develop, but in their own place of the world. The Reichs of immigrants coming to us are a major threat. For our world, but besides for ours. For social and intellectual reasons, all individual with a certain identity should be in the appropriate biosphere of his people. In opposition to political correctness there are real differences between different races and ethnosamiwhich, contrary to the demiurges' procedures, will not cease to exist. Attempts to make a single society, regardless of differences, lead to acts of terror, tensions and struggles of all[41].

10) The conventional function of Science

For over a fewer 100 years there has been a degrengolade of discipline as such. It is now treated as another field of ideological warfare, where proving its right constitutes the highest, if not the only, goal. Not only social discipline is an experimental field for various novelties[42] created by people detached from reality, but besides experimental sciences become under the belt of political correctness. Another crucial problem is the massification of science, which is only a preparation for the profession and no longer a value in itself. Natural eliteism, erstwhile characteristic and immanent to those who love wisdom, is now in retreat for the benefit of chtonic and lunaric afflictions[43].

Science, in the ancient sense of the word, is simply a quest to know the truth. The truth, which according to Aristotle, is consistent with reality. Gnoseology should be a pedestal of the pursuit of truth. discipline is besides a confrontation with attitudes and beliefs of generations past in order to convey cognition to those who come after us. This is the celebrated relay of generations.

Completion

Western civilization has undergone many phases of development, most of all existing. Unfortunately, at the minute she was in a crisis situation. It's human time, antichrist or, utilizing a word nomenclature from a different tradition, kalyugu. The time of the collapse of the values that constitute our world: religion, tradition, culture. This is the consequence of changes on many levels, which the author tried to draw in the text.

Is it possible to return to the good times? Definitely so, due to the fact that past is cyclical alternatively than linear[44]. All things repeat, only in fresh forms. It is worth realizing that the fall of Rome in 476 was for the modern end of the known planet and the transition to a time of unknown darkness. The fall of mankind has been foretold. Nothing like that happened. After dark and hard centuries, the re-integration of the area of Western civilization began, and over time it took forms many consider to be perfect mention points[45].

The changes that request to be made to materialise the dream imagination should be made comprehensively in all possible fields: civilization, political, cultural, social, economic. In specified order and hierarchy. Building a fresh Man[46] to run in the spirit of the Platonic triad: Good, fact and Beauty. Man must be liberated from the shackles of all determinism, especially – now strong and visible – economic.

The task of the protesters of the present order, or the reign of the first political theory[47], is preparing intellectually, and at the same time moral improvement to capture the cup of power in a suitable, previously recognized, historical moment. Maintaining its values, adopt a model of Bolshevik action. They were a minority, but compact and with clearly defined goals. They were guided by their own strategy of values, from our position of anti-value, which was presented in the book “Revolutionary Catechism”[48]. They developed intellectually spreading, fresh to them times, Marxist explanation based on the dialectic Hegel system. And finally, through a sober view of reality, they recognized the fall of the old planet ancien regime in Russia, and they utilized the historical minute to take power.

We gotta hit the giant, which is liberalism. We gotta hit modernism. We must strike Western civilization in its present shape. The future of ourselves and future generations depends on it.
