Produktbeschreibung

The history that is studied in schools and universities appears only to be a series of events similar to those of fantasy (of the same value as novels, but with a series of dates, which make reading very boring, also in relation to the fact that the dates are placed in relation to the "great" characters and "great" events, and not in relation to the flow of chronological time, in turn, related to the actual historical evolution, and therefore make this dating completely cumbersome, difficult to understand and hardly memorable).
Historiography capable of being a "teacher of life" has always been hoped for, but official historiography can be, at best, a teacher of literature and ... of incensation, or demonization, of those who are considered the "makers of history", since it is considered the history as a series of events decided by "great characters", whose willpower is such as to determine the evolution of history, understood as a progressive line, albeit with moments of, inexplicable, stasis, preceded and followed by, equally inexplicable, accelerations.
The analysis of history, which I have exhibited in previous volumes, and which contemplates an evolutionary dynamic, dictated by the essence of society based: on the principle, on institutional reality, and on economic and social relations, which are typical of statehood, finds confirmation in the exposition of the events, and of the profound reality, of the millennia ranging from the fifth millennium BCE to contemporaneity, which I will expose in this volume and in the next. In the first section of this analysis (exhibited in this volume), i analyzed the various historical cycles, which have followed one another from the "Proto-Archaic" Era (according to scans made by the official historiography) to the first part of the "Early Middle Ages" , while in the second section of the discussion, i propose to analyze the dynamics of the historical cycle experienced by the preponderant part of the human species, starting from the second part of the "High Middle Ages" and that persists in the "Contemporary Age", without neglecting the fact that a not marginal part of humanity lived, in the twentieth century CE, and still lives, in the first decades of the twenty-first century, , a further historical cycle, which, on the basis of the definition of some art historians, i have defined: the historical cycle of "Postmodern Age". I believe that this conception of historical evolution can be an effective "teacher of life" for the people, the populations, but, also, for the rulers, (the latter would, finally, understand what historical moment we are experiencing and what are the real prospects for evolution, over time short and medium term) and finally, for the real men, who would finally realize how urgent a qualitative leap in the process of universal civilizing is, without being engulfed by a dynamic that has nothing in common with nature human and with its purposes.

Autorenporträt

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...
