THE ANTAGONISM AND COOPERATION (What awaits the mankind...?)

THE ANTAGONISM AND COOPERATION
(What awaits the mankind...?)

According to my book "The hours of history", the mankind by every 2,400 years undergoing for a recurring condition which resemble with a seasons of the year.
It can draw and as an analogy with the daily changes in solar activity.
Let’s call this 2400-year period as the "era."
It as in the annual and daily changes, events can be described schematically by means of a circle.
If we draw through the center of the circle diameter it will be divided into two equal parts, where the direction of movement will be opposite.
This means that every 1200 years (it is half of the "era"), the general direction of the movement of humanity will be reversed.
Here is the changing of a style behavior, habits, culture, philosophy, art, etc.
If we will follow by the seasonal analogy, so half of the "Era" which corresponding to the "spring" and "summer" will be with the increased activity. Here the society is divided into antagonistic elements. This is the confrontation of each other, of the individual and interest groups, classes, nations. The desire for freedom, selfish sentiments and mutual struggle reach of the extreme which becoming incompatible with the life of humanity.
The style of the society movement in this part of the "era" can be called as a "centrifugal" or "scattering."
In the second half the "era" which is corresponding to the "autumn" and "winter", the direction of the movement of society is reversed again.
Gradually comes the understanding that without of the mutual consent and cooperation, neither one person or the group, nor the state will not be able to solve their problems.
The life forced us to go to meet each other for the compromise, for cooperation...
This movement can be described as the "centripetal".
Today the society enters by this not so easy path.
It will be a need for the radical revaluation of all values and all accustomed views.
Inevitably will be the changing of the culture, art, philosophy.
It will to have the changing of our sympathies and antipathies.

THE COOPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AS INTEGRITY
will be the basis for a new turning of the human life and thoughts over the next 1,200 years! ...
This is a scheme. In the reality, in the life by varying proportions are present that both directions. After all, for the release from the bonds ("chains") of that whole, it is necessary the presence of this "whole". And on the contrary, for the unity and integrity must be the existence of something fractional or "separate."
In that or another particular case we are talking about the dominance of a centrifugal or centripetal tendency and the direction of the vector of its development (the increasing or decreasing trends).
The peak of the centrifugal tendencies by the society has already passed.
But even in the midst of an antagonistic struggle of all against all and of the cynicism and immorality growth, with the regular frequency appear the idea of cooperation, peace and justice. But these ideas have been as some mirage, as a distant illusory but alas, an unattainable dream.
By the reality has domination another idea or "ideal" which was striving to embody.
As this ideal was often performed the uncompromising, fearless and ruthless character - the Viking, crusader, knight.
At first by theirs heroic feats led the "ideal" motives - to protect the interests of the Church or of the "Beautiful Lady" favor, and then more narrowly defined the patriotic and mercantile interests of the State first, then of the individual.
It is strikingly lack of sympathy for the individual. In one of the crusades against heretics (1208), the Pope called - "Kill them all, the God in another world would to plead their own."
Gradually the noble motives changed by the Machiavellianism, immorality, cynicism.
In the 19th century of Byron's romantic hero is a rebel, individual, that becomes aware of his doom.
By Lermontov's “The Hero of Our Time" his hero “is not needed for society".
At the same time (1843) Kierkegaard says "...The all is only the wind and the smoke...a moment is that around which everything revolves."
Naturally, that detached from the whole the characters and time - is nonsense...
Since that time the depressive moods are becoming more and more strong.
Nietzsche is trying to reanimate the concept of the heroic morality and turns it upside down ("Beyond of the Good and Evil," "The Antichrist").
We today do to know that for him personally and for his followers that all have ended by disaster.
The society that is devoid of sympathy and armed with the latest technology comes to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki...
One after the other occurs by the technique disasters.
But not all is so bad...
The more the darkness thickened, the more people have need for the light!
Still at 1795 Immanuel Kant put forward the idea of a world government ("The doctrine of eternal peace").
After of a bloody World War II was created the United Nations.
There is a growth for understanding of the world as a "Biosphere" and "Noosphere".
It is the changing of the world model in our head.
The familiar image of the hero as the rebel loses its appeal.
According to the law of cyclicity the new ideal of a "hero" will restoring the lost connections of the harmonious and holistic world...
