Principles 1.
Sciences and
cultural arts may flourish only in bright ages of renascence and enlightenment
and they regularly break down in dark ages of aggressive imperial wars,
religious fundamentalism and dogmatic neoscholasticism. 2. The
regress of social research and their lagging behind natural sciences is due
to their abuse by perpetual epidemics of irrational thought and dark ages
of human civilisation addicted to acquisitive plundering. When they ceased to
be abused by medieval scholastics and stopped assisting theology as its
humble maid-servant (ancilla
theologiae), they began to assist a reformed
political inquisition as an ancilla ideologiae. 3. The
European civilisation has repudiated supernatural spirits but has not
outwitted the economic lawfulness that procreates them repeatedly again and
again. In Christian Europe church dogmatics was
replaced by idealist cathedral metaphysics, which has functioned as a perfect
makeshift for lapsed conservative theology since the times of romanticism and
German classic philosophy. Instead of clergymen in sacerdotal cassocks there
appeared confessors of a new Nietzscheist religion
preaching irrationality without the bible, church and gods. 4. The
chief obstacle of scientific cognition in humanities is dogmatic integralism that regards modern religions, races, nations
and languages as integral wholes. It refuses to realise that their genetic
affiliation has undergone assimilative processes of amalgamation that turned
them into hybrid unities. Genetic structuralism neglects recent synchronic
structures as hybrid mixtures and excavates their origins from pure
Palaeolithic prototypes. 5. Most common scientific terms denote hybrid and heterogeneous entities
and have to be revalidated by subtle analytic decomposition. Unless they are
broken into elementary atoms, they will remain worthless indissoluble
substances like clay, mud and dirt in medieval alchemy. They will fit the pigeon holes of Darwinian and Mendeleevian
systematics only after they are distilled into pure
elements. 6. The
lure of orthodox integralism owes its rise to a
revival of expansionism and globalism. Catholic integralism
periodically lapses into frenzy of racism, nationalism and fundamentalism
whenever it is summoned to Christianise barbarians and it feels the itching
of overmastering countries of inferior nationalities. A new motivation of
nationalism emerged in causes of privatising state-owned realties when nouveaux riches needed to justify their proprietary claims
against foreigners. 7.
In modern times
religious fundamentalism seems to rage only in Islamist
theocracies but in fact it equally operates in a covert form also in
civilised secular countries. 8.
Since humanities did not
manage to constitute as sciences during the 19th century
positivist scientific revolution, they fell victims to the lures of the 20th
century modern and postmodern fundamentalism. As a
result, they resigned and resorted to the boom of pseudo-scientific
irrationalism and intuitive essay-writing. They fall
into savage bigotry because they do not understand economic and social forces
and assign their driving role to supernatural divine, heroic, personal, human
or animate spiritual forces. |
