Abstract

Civilization’s collapse, with which we are confronted since the last century with the generalization of conflicts and crisis, has confirmed the nowadays consensual diagnosis that the development’s model of our societies, meanwhile generalized, has failed – promotes dehumanization and barbarism, instead of the promised progress. And that because modernity, promoting liberties in prejudice of common well, has defended a truncate model of rationality, conflictual and destructive of social and natural equilibriums, which favors the command of the more powerful and reduces everything to a merchandise. This obviously was followed closely by an ideological program of tradition’s emancipation, considered a cause of oppression and heteronomy. To that we argue, the importance of meaning’s symbolic mediation and tradition’s productive recovery, which reverts, respecting our subject, in an appreciation of the new scientific structuralism‘s thoughtful virtualities to an speculative approach to the divine character of nature.
