free thought - CIVILIZATION' OPEN
Western civilization, as mentioned elsewhere, originated with the Greeks. The first who made the transition from tribal life to community life. Transit, the evolution from closed society to open society, on the other, seen as possibly verifiable, comparable, not always negative. Sparta, however, as he could, he tried to keep the tribalism. Athens has developed and implemented, thanks to the great revolution of critical discussion and free thought obsessions by magic, the concept of open society , handed down to us. The development of an open society has led, in the western world, to a system of individual rights and economic, dipped individual rights to freedom. Hence the radicalization in the society the principle of freedom 'INDIVIDUAL ( E' allowed that is not expressly prohibited ), in contrast to the concept of freedom 'MEDIEVAL ( You can only do what is expressly permitted ), which often emerge, even nowadays, in the most backward areas of the Italian situation.
Often, during my working life I am forced to endure, and key actors of the national bureaucracies, concepts that make me see such medieval concepts. In these circumstances, I reacted by rejecting, with disdain and clearly, that these attitudes are only presuposto nell'arretratezza intellectual man. Maybe something more than ... "Charlatans."
