Produktbeschreibung

The human condition in societies organized according to the structures that have succeeded one another throughout history is that of human beings guided, without their knowledge, by a mechanism that is completely alien to their nature, their needs and desires and their purposes, both as individuals and as a species. The fear of a "Generative" Artificial Intelligence (AI) (namely: capable of autonomously processing information) that progresses to the point of being able to dominate, or replace, human beings is growing lately. However, for many millennia, humanity has found itself, unknowingly, in a situation of total dependence on a mechanism activated by human beings themselves and whose operating logic, evolutionary logic and purpose are unknown to the same "demiurges" who activated it (whether it is the mythical Romulus, for the history of Rome, or another character: it matters little) and consists of a structural archetype, which organizes and subjugates the societies commonly defined as: "civilized".

It seems necessary, and urgent, to create a knowledge of the societies currently in existence and of their organizational mechanisms, based on the scientific method, according to the Galilean-Newtonian model. It is also necessary to analyze human nature, delimiting its natural characteristics, with respect to the introjected mechanisms, deriving from historically constituted structures and which impose, especially unconsciously, determining influences on the thought and action of each individual and of peoples, as well as of the rulers themselves, who can hope to remain in power for a long time only if they know how to adapt to the logic of the existing structures and to the evolutionary moment that them, gradually, put into action. The purpose of every individual, as of each living being, as well as of all living species, consists in trying to contribute to the universal process of progressive civilizing. The analysis that I have carried out has led me to identify six distinct levels of civilizing, of which each animal species can be placed in one of these, with specific clues, or evidence. The species to which we belong appears, up to now, to be the only one that has gone beyond the fourth level of civilizing (although: not for all contemporary human societies), placing itself, alternately over the centuries, on the fifth or sixth level of civilizing, since the evolution of the aforementioned structural universe based on statehood has a cyclical trend, with repeated cycles, in an undelimited way. Humanity does not yet have a clear awareness of this fact, although some individuals are conscious of the unnaturalness of their condition as a species and hope for a cognitive progress that is able to lead humanity to design an organizational model of human society that is consistent with our nature and that exalts, and allows for the expression of, all its potential. This awareness of our current condition and of the possibility, and necessity, of a human and social palingenesis that allows to our, to access the seventh level of universal civilizing, and it is the characteristic that makes individuals conscious of themselves: endowed with a spirit that elevates them from the condition of animals to awareness of the universality of their own species and of themselves, as individuals. The design of such a model of social organization can only be such as to allow the full expression and satisfaction of the irrepressible need for sociality and at the same time, allow the expression of the need for the most authentic individualization. The meaning of life is universal in that it belongs, ontologically and potentially, to all living matter. This potentiality manifests itself in the species endowed with a sociality, even if minimal, and is transformed into consciousness, in the human species, when our species has reached a given level of cognitive, or psychological, maturation.

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...
