A familiar order

Abstract

The period we live is full of uncertainties and perplexities. Many signs of anomie trouble us, that is, the social illness that forces us to take a futuristic position that impells us towards a less appauling future. In order to do so, we have to orient our utopia according to the three timmings that Paul Ricoeur showed as commanding the praxis and poiesis of living human beings (including those who keep wanting to be alive). That is: the past is present, or the reappropiation of likely forgotten traditions; from a present that is always escaping and that is renewing them through its prospection, or the future’s present. These pages intend to assemble an aspect of some questionning contemporary tendencies. We acknowledge that they do not consider the two great problems they announce: a communitarian organization, or the ideal future society without classes nor racial or gender discrimination; nor of the World Centers that exploit and culturally alienate its peripheric surroundings. The same happens with the crucial problem of democracy. These pages, are therefore an invitation to think what roads may be taken in order to transform the world. Nothing more. They insist on the old millenarist ambition of marching toward societies who look for the collective creative -or poetical-existence, with distributive justice.
