Stability, Instability and the Hegemonic Challenge

Foreword

Having exhausted its driving force (the fight against the USSR), NATO endangers itself in Ukraine and fantasizes about war.

Europe could have used the meeting to show the United States how to take over leadership; instead, it simply agreed to buy a bunch of things.

***************

The idea that freedom and democracy can be exported worldwide is an ancient dream. The Athenian democrats, the French revolutionaries, and the Russian Bolsheviks, to name just a few, were convinced that their political system was valid enough to be extended to all peoples. But even the path to freedom is not paved with rose petals: enthusiasm often mixes with fanaticism; idealism must contend with the harsh laws of realpolitik.

The experience of doubt should be constitutive of the anthropological structure. Doubt is a mental condition, known since antiquity, which causes one to cease believing in a certainty, or to question a statement or proposition.

Philosophy does not offer easy solutions but raises questions, revealing unexpected perspectives on the reality that surrounds us in all its variety.
