The turn of a millennium is at hand, and the times are very apocalyptic. You don't have to believe in religious doctrine to foresee the end of the world as we know it, you only have to be aware of the cycles of history, of the rise and fall of civilizations. Even people who have not studied the matter tend to share this awareness intuitively, for our planet-wide culture is rolling like a global snowball down the far end of the curve, and the collective mind of society knows it.
Some believe that the end can be averted by means of a universal change in consciousness. The problem with this theory is that those who promote it are themselves exemplars of the very mode of thought which has been driving the Earth toward destruction for lo! these many centuries. Clinging desperately to the belief in their own enlightenment, they say that the reason it has not yet transformed the world into Paradise is simply because not EVERYONE believes it yet, and that if only a critical mass could be reached of people who think like them, why, the miraculous transformation would occur literally overnight.
So is the solution, then, to seek refuge in a regression to the past, to withdraw behind the barricades of reaction? Isnt there a forward route to a positive future? There is, and as we shall see, the reason that the "progressive" perspective misfired is not because it was new but because it was incomplete -- indeed, it didnt go far enough.
And it wasnt even truly new in terms of the historical cycle. Every reasonably advanced civilization reached a stage of culture and thought equivalent to that of our own, and it did not stop them from proceeding en masse to the following stages, namely decline, collapse, and destruction. Not one survived, or it would still be here. The human species on this planet has not yet come up with the magic formula to avert the eternally-recurring Apocalypse.
Or perhaps it has, and the secret has somehow been lost amidst the vicissitudes of history. For although none of the high civilizations of the past survive as such, vestiges of many of them do, preserved in statuary, literature, and religious doctrine. The strongest and most vibrant such vestige of past glory is Hinduism. Modern scholars have still not unravelled all the subtle complexities of Hindu art, science, philosophy, and religion. And even if they found the key to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth amidst all the labyrinthine arcana, they would not recognize it for what it was. Yet it is there...
Necrophilvs Escreveu:Um tema interessante...mas quem sabe se não será essa destruição que possibilita a criação de novas sociedades mais "progressistas" (isto é o meu "bakuninismo" a falar,lol).No entanto,Nietzsche dizia algo sobre isso: não são os criadores de "novo ruído" que criam novas sociedades mas sim os criadores de "novos valores".Ou seja, a evolução em direcção ao que Nietzsche chamava de "supra-humano" faz-se silenciosamente e não através de convulsões (a destruição que fala no texto).No entanto, a meu ver, acho que a história desmente Nietzsche,pois são grandes convulsões que dão origem a novas sociedades e a novos Homens. O que falta aos criadores de "novo ruído" é que,na prática, não criaram "novos valores"...
Anyway, desculpem a divagação...
