Left- and Right-Inclination as the Poles of Relation to the Lot (Introduction to the Concept of “Modern Traditionalism”)

Abstract

In 2009 professor B. Wolniewicz introduced on the grounds of philosophical anthropology an opposition between left-inclined and right-inclined persons (different from political division between the rights and the lefties). He defined left- inclination as the “disease to improve (reconstruct) the world contrary to human nature”. The population is divided into — in its genotype — the people who believe in such improvement and the ones who resist the same. On the grounds of this concept two questions are vital: (a) Why in the 20th century the left-inclined have dominated Western civilization? (b) Why the right-inclined who are still present have no strength to resist?

The answers t these questions are bases upon several theses:

1. Right- and left-inclinations (R — L) are in fact two innate forms of human relation to both death and lot.
2. Agitation of the soul by the lot constitutes a separate element of human will (besides interest, love to persons and the character).
3. Division of human race between R — L provides for evolution of social forms of religion thus offering flexible adaptation of our species.
4. Rapid deployment of technology results in a possibility to construct the total (omnipotent) state — and the forces heading towards this direction favor and attract the left-inclined.
