The cycles in nature, in history, are
inevitable. Even now, that we know about it, we can discuss about it, it is
inevitable. There are forces in nature, and even in human history, that are beyond
rationality and predictability.
In true, emotionality rules the world. We think
that Science is pure rationality and so we have the illusion that rationality
puts Science on the highest level of knowledge; at the same time Science
puts rationality on the highest level of knowledge, denying emocionality...
Maybe this concept could be an assertion in the
apex of postmodern times, the nineties of the 20th century. The
pragmatism of that assertion worked very well, apparently. But under a Jungian
vision, human life and human person have light and shadow. Emotionality works
more in the shadows of unconscious, mainly when we think that rationality is
the only domain of conscious, and emotionality is restrained to fleeting and consumerist pleasures.
In true, emotionality ruled the world ever. The
question is what people did or what we do with emotionality. In postmodern times, pragmatism, efficacy,
objectivity made subjectivity only a space of consumerism. As Guattari said, when anyone do not take care of its own subjectivity, another one will domain it.
But something happened in the first decade of
the 21st century and still continues. We are all in a “Macro Shift”,
as said Erwin Lazlo. The tools of economic globalization did not work very well
anymore.
In after-postmodern times, respect for
subjectivity may recover or even start new models of economy. Objectivity is
necessary but it is not sufficient to embrace all sides of human being and
human life. We hear that “the stock
market is nervous” or things like that, but that emotionality is only saw as a
kind of “economic thermometer”, and the subjective side does not receive
attention, except for the investor when he gets a myocardial infarction…
So maybe it is necessary create or find new
tools, new paradigms, new correlations between rationality and emotionality,
objectivity and subjectivity, all of that among human needs and dreams.
