Dasein and Multipolarity
A priest once told me that long sermons put the people to sleep, but short ones awaken the heart. So, I will try to be brief and make the most of my time.
Let's go directly to what is at the heart of any question, to the origins of everything: the philosophy of the multipolar model and what is at the heart of human nature itself. So, what does it take to understand the essence of human nature? So, the first thing we need to do is to delve into the concept of Dasein.
It was introduced by Heidegger and is defined as the capacity of being for destruction, development and manifestation in people and their communities. What does it mean? It means that each nation is endowed with unique features that derive from its natural cultural environment – this is how a society is shaped.
However, in recent years, we have all witnessed the formation of a unipolar neoliberal model of the world. This model is anti-humane, there is no other way to put it, and it has contributed to fading away of the culture of all peoples, imposing an idea of social homogeneity that does not recognize natural cultural differences. Wherever you go, you always end up in the same clothing stores, following the same trends, eating the same food. Everything around us is commodified. For example, war used to be a noble cause, a place for all kinds of exploits. For certain types of communities, it even took on a quasi-religious character. Now the war is reduced to numbers, money: the human aspect has been forgotten.
Nevertheless, the unipolar model will soon fall, and the reasons for this lie in the very essence of man. As was said earlier, the hegemony of capital has led to a decline in the culture of nations. But society itself cannot be destroyed. The essence of each people continues to live, even when they try to suppress it.
The essence of these communities cannot be destroyed. Hundreds of years of history are imprinted on our character and consciousness.
And what is the result? Imagine a riverbed. After thousands of years, the river returns to its original course, despite the many rocks that try to prevent it: so, too, will human society return to its origins. No matter how much they try to impose on us a homogeneous model of the world, the essence of each people will always find a way to come to the surface.
It is important to remember that there is no human being detached from society. Otherwise, the very idea of society as a voluntary association of individuals becomes doubtful. Above all, one lives in a community, not by oneself. This is why it is important to realize the importance of society and to work to protect and promote the natural cultural diversity of each people. In multipolarity theory, this would be achieved by the existence of poles.
This is why we must see the multipolar model as a force of nature, prompting us to fight the unipolar model and the hegemony of capital imposed on us, which go against our humanity.
