@ConceptualJames The making of a CULTure, a sensus communis of a (re)born nation, a beautiful ricorsi, so poetic, an ideal eternal history, made so with a modification of the mind.
With perennial love,
#GBVico
#GBVico’s “ideal eternal history”, is a poetic history that has less to do with history & more to do with transformations of consciousness, or “modifications of the Mind”.

Fables, fantasia, imagination, “social myths”.
“By surrounding the child with the fantastic, we force him to live as if in a perpetual psychosis.”
What are some current “social myths”that are keeping people living in a “perpetual psychosis”?

A mythopoetic creation of CULTure(social myth), ala #GBVico & #GeorgeSorel, is the basis of the creation of the “nationalism”.
There's a lot of confusion around Fascism partly because it refers to two different systems, one economic and one sociocultural/political (they obviously can overlap). Economic Fascism is union of state and corporation. The other is a narrowly defined, high-purity "nationalism."

“Society progresses towards perfection, but without reaching it (thus history is “ideal”), interrupted as it is by a break or return (ricorso) to a relatively more primitive condition.”
“Second barbarism”
#GBVico
“the mind, and its frame of things, may have to be unmade before it can be made.”
Or to put this into the language of Kurt Lewin, the mind might need an “unfreeze” before it can be remade or reconstructed.
#GBVico
verum et factum convertuntur (“the true and the made are...convertible”)
verum ipsum factum (“the true is the made”)
verum esse ipsum factum “the true is precisely what is made”
Thanks #GBVico, society is a real great place when “truth” is “made”, or (socially) constructed.
@UnmitigatedAss @thepalmerworm Creation of social myth was a main idea that #GeorgeSorel adopted from #GBVico & ultimately that idea made its way into both Fascism & Communism. These 2 extremely similar systems became very good at creating “truth” & a new sensus communis or Cult Common Sense, in the masses.
“It does not need to be a reality” -Mussolini
“Mussolini's fascism…may be regarded…as…organized & vulgarized transformation of the prewar Sorelian movement. If Mussolini could boast…fascism had no ideology, it was because for him Sorel's myth could be a lie”

#GBVico “Divine providence”, https://t.co/nxr8Mh57Z9
“Some violence had to be done to the traditional tenets of the Christian faith to approach conformity between it and the ideas of progress. The idea of Divine providence was rather easily translated to that progress…”
@UnmitigatedAss - You're not gonna believe this, but there's a philosophy video on YT. It's crazy! @Thinkb4Learning - You're the Vico-ite, IIRC, right?

Some key names from that “Italian intellectual legacy” of Renaissance Humanism, “Pico della Mirandola and Marsilio Ficino to Giordano Bruno and Tommaso Campanella, just to name a preferred few”.

“…the sublime orators…twist men’s minds around, no matter how settled, into wishing the direct opposite.” #GBVico
#GeorgeSorel’s method, like #GBVico, was ‘psychological’, “‘I want to find out how…the masses are moved.’ He concluded that the masses intervene…in history only when impelled by ‘revolutionary myths’. The myth was their reality…an ‘absolute and irrevocable transformation’”
“in 1896, Sorel…broached the subject of revolution in…study of #GBVico’s Scienza nuova…The…philosopher, he believed…made a perfect distinction between two types of revolutions…one was…a conspiratorial party…The other…an exploited class seeking to introduce ‘new rights’”
Kissinger on #GBVico’s philosophy of history
“…saw in history a cyclical recurrence of civilizations…occult wisdom of…early stage bases itself on a religious experience…follows an inevitable pattern. Vico is…the modern precursor of a systematic cyclical theory of history.”
“…but also…discoveries of Roman history by Niebuhr and Mommsen, the theory of Homer by Wolf, the interpretation of mythology…the reconstruction of ancient life through etymology…the historical understanding of laws…and of the class struggles by Marx and Sorel.’” 2/2 #GBVico
