teoria schimbarii lumii, partea I din un zilion

—
“The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism of the weapon, material force must be overthrown by material force; but theory also becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses.” (Marx, “Critique on Hegel’s Philosophy of Right”)
When I read this phrase from Marx’s Critique, I thought it was kind of ironic, considering how his “Communist Manifesto” influenced the whole world. In fact, this phrase reveals the essence of Marx’s philosophy: “a theory becomes material force as soon as it has gripped the masses”, and is, to some extent, the ‘dream belief’ of politicians around the world since politics itself existed. Further, Marx goes on to say “Theory is capable of gripping the masses as soon as it demonstrates ad hominem, and it demonstrates ad hominem as soon as it becomes radical.” The moment of the revolution, of the success of this new theory that would “grip the masses”, and cause the failure of the previous one, is also called, philosophically speaking, a vertigo. Francisco Miro Quesada, a Latin American philosopher, wrote about this: “Every radical change in the theory of man leads inevitably to change in our way of seeing the world, and this produces insecurity and distress. For, to change a theory concerning the world forces us to recognize that what we believed is not so certain, that the earth we walk on has suddenly become moving sand in which we may sink.” This is similar to the revolution that Marx believes will take place: a theory fails, and keeps on failing, the “proletariat” has enough of it and, when confronted with the new theory, launches a revolutionary movement to overthrow the “bourgeoisie”.
What is Quesada’s definition of the purpose of theory? “Theory is born as a function of man and for man to find a perspective within the endless labyrinth of events as he orders his world.” A key word in this phrase is “orders”. Just as Marx (and Hegel) argued, the human being wants a society, form of government, that can provide order to his world. And, for that to happen, a theory needs to arise. And then, to become “material force.”

Niste ganduri adunate… am descoperit cu atata filosofie ca nu toate gandurile reprezinta omul; sau, cel putin, nu toate credintele lui. Deci ma bucura si argumente si contra-argumente. Si trairi, povesti, random thoughts… So, what do u say?:]
someone’s story
septembrie 15, 2007 at 12:07 am | In poveste ne-insemnata | 5 CommentsPovestea cuiva. Sau mai bine zis o insemnare scurta, adunata, scrisa, de unde fiecare poate intelege mult…
It’s amazing how oblivious of the rest of the world you are when you think just about one thing. Maybe even better when it’s one person. When you’re about to hold her. You want to grab her and hold her in your arms – you do it. And the rest of the world just disappears. All there is now – you and her. And then she presses her nose against yours – sweet!
I feel like I need to spit things out, to get’em outa me, yet I can’t speak my mind enough to do so. I can’t let me spend enough time with me to do so. But I feel pretty good. I loved this date, today. It was a date to remember.
Sometimes I have this inclination to go back, to send a message of back-togetherness. But no. I don’t really want that. I do feel an empty void as was obvious would happen…
“I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell”
“Talking to myself in public”
Muzica la max!!!
I missed dancing to myself.
Scriu incet, incet… gandesc, ascult, gandesc, ascult, pierd firul, in regasesc, caut alt fir, etc. Si muzica e atat de sublima…
Dac-as putea sa exprim aceste corzi in cuvinte…
Talk, talk, talk, keep talking, keep listening. Learn. Remember. All those things you lived are coming back, in a way. Yes, it takes a long time to find yourself. Traieste viata intens. Asta faci tu, da. Asta te face… artist, in a way. Ea nu pare tocmai asa, desi e sensibila… Si totusi nu ai respins-o, si nici n-ai vrut sa te-apropii prea mult de prima oara. Poate fi o prietenie frumoasa, poate fi o dragoste intensa si scurta, poate fi ceva din amandoua, poate fi niciuna… frumos. Interesant. Aventuros. Misterios. Surprinde-o.
Debiteaza…
dar despre ce?
Despre muzica!
Despre ce?
N-am mai citit mult demult.
Astazi am vorbit cu cineva despre Dumnezeu. Ce, cum, cand, cred?
Da. Cred, zic. In Dumnezeu, Creatorul acestui Univers (si poate al altora), al lumii noastre pamantene. El se afla la un pol al “ek-sistentei” si noi… la celalalt. Una exista pentru ca exista cealalta. Ceva a creat toate astea, tot ce exista. Eu si jurul meu. Si-apoi acel ceva reprezinta acest tot. Poate ca e acest tot! Dumnezeu poate fi un atom, poate fi un Univers, poate fi mai mult de-atat sau mai putin de-atat. El este ceea ce este, exista prin aceasta lume. Suntem creatia lui. In rest… sunt multe intrebari si multe goluri inca fara raspuns. Si unele raspunsuri fara intrebari, poate, si unele intrebari care nu pot fi puse…
Doar 42 e raspunsul la intrebarea cea mai cea… O intrebare necunoscuta…
Do you wanna fall in love?
Erm… dunno yet.
I feel like… talking to someone for hours, peacefully, gracefully, slowly… Are things always in a rush though? Umm, not exactly. Sometimes I am. Was I today? At some points, yes. I still need to calm down a bit. There’s no rush. Yeah, so I’m leaving in a short time. So what? No biggie. It’s gonna be alright. Yep. Of course. It’s always gonna be alright. Hopefully.
Surprisingly surprising.
