Abstract

We have seen the return of a sensualistic time, with the specific prejudices raised by the contamination of the “idols of tribe”, but also with the fraternal fervor that they don’t stop driving. There is idolatry in the spirit of time and all domains of life are contaminated. We can consider that the postmodern paradigm is rooted in a type of “practical reason” of the affrèrement. The pleasure of “being” is collective. It is in its own structure proceeding by contamination. Epidemic that Internet networks strive to consolidate. There is nothing individual in these fields. The excitement and hysteria are communitarian.
