No society can be successful without spirituality and ideals
What is for a society the deep meaning of spirituality and ideals has long been revealed. As our great economist and sociologist Academic G. Danailov (1872 – 1939) emphasizes, spirituality is important because language, education, religion, morals as norms and rules of behavior associate people and give predictability to their relationships. And customs and right crystallize them in tolerable forms and boundaries. Therefore, everything in public life is closely related to them.
The ideals, again, according to Academician G. Danailov, are inspirers and guides. They are causes, ie. Reasons for a common case. Without this, it is impossible to establish a good and fair public order.
Politics must first and foremost to morality, because only he can give her guidance ideas, the central of which is that social system that creates the most widely possible opportunity to develop the powers and abilities of every human personality. |
It is our guiding social ideal. (Danailov, G. The main principles of political economy, 1934, pp. 2, 12, 23)
Yes, in unity, spirituality and ideals are the mirror and the sign, through which every time is revealed – including our present. If it is adequate to the spirit of time, even if it is a « kingdom of the scam », the existing social arrangement is perceived as a desired normality. But contradictions are always accumulated and new social beliefs such as ideals and hopes are formed. They change the spirit of time and thus – the behavior of individuals as social actors.
For the supreme values of statehood and freedom
Thus, in the Middle Ages, the humanistic spirit of the civil revolutions was born. They swept the autocrats and the beginning of the modern era as a social reality was launched. Because of her essence to accumulate physical capital, she was named capitalism. Today, time calls into question our capitalism. Such is the social law by whose power a public order goes from order to disorder and then in a new order. The needed need becomes a reality – an expression of people’s desires. But it is always formed according to the ratio of social forces. For this reason, she subsequently diverted the ideals initiated.
This is the case in the world and in our country. The world today is facing a new need for a clear form.
However, our hopes for a recent order are still more optimistic, because traditions have always said the word, although they are not unchanged. But the peak has always taken spirituality and ideals. |
