Outline (in English)

Closed society and open society
Germany, which is the nation of reason created by Kant and Hegel, succumbed to the Nazi totalitarianism as a <closed society>. At that time, Bergson was writing Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1932) . These are the words that close this book : “Mankind lies groaning, half-crushed beneath the weight of its own progress. Men do not sufficiently realize that their future is in their own hands. Theirs is the task of determining first of all whether they want to go on living or not.” Do we still have the will “to go on living” today, despite the inceasingly IT oriented and closed society? We’ll consider this question together while reading Chapter 1 of Two Sources.
