Modern Democracy
Democracy is a word belongs to the Greek word (δημοκρατία, Dēmokratía)
emphasizes the right of people to govern themselves , but how could people
govern themselves ? or what is the good way which people govern it ? For modern
democracy (belongs to the enlightenment age especially to the French Revolution
1789 ) the best way of governing it by the majority rule with election ?
but is possible that people would choose the wrong governor or the wrong social
manner of life forcing minority to live with the same way what is called
``Tyranny Of Majority`` , that Socrates was hanged by the majority rule .
Painting by
Jacques-Louis David Describes the murdering of Socrates called ( The
Death Of Socrates) while we see that is a wrong title chosen by the painter who
was the friend of Robespierre and member of Jacobins so it`s perhaps that this
title is for hiding the ``Tyranny of
majority `` .
Democratists argued that the tyranny of majority is less dangerous than the
minority`s , but that didn`t eliminate the possibility of
individual to be right while all others are wrong because all judgements are
ultimately belongs to the individual mind as an only responsible about himself
in his life , unless it`s were only a skepticism in a political form and there
is no value for society nor for individual .
For sublate this dialectical
problematic between individualism and collectivism we must think about Spirit ( mind of mind or mind as such) as a
transcendent entity and conclusion because the supreme purpose of men is to
live a spiritual life using his mind who
created men as an individual , so to
live a spiritual life is to use your mind what means that the individual life
is requested by Spirit itself , therefore the individual precede society with his rationality and spiritual goal while
society should also exist as an entity which Spirit is incarnated , that the
philosopher of Fascism Sir Giovanni Gentile saw that State and Individual
are the same .
Conclusion :
Enlightenment thinkers were
deists and naturalists with any vision upper the psychological mind ,
while German Idealism especially the Absolute Idealism of Hegel and ultimately Actual Idealism of Sir
Giovanni Gentile looks to the psychological mind as a creation of Spirit the
mind of mind , therefore the modern democracy of the enlightenment age
should be sublated for the Fascist
Political theory as a pure intellectual idea and a wholly creation of the
spiritual mind .
