Let us place ourselves back in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when the ideological revolution meant the Enlightenment in Western culture (with consequent effects on the world) led to the idea of \u200b\u200bindividual free thinker. A freethinker is a person whose opinions, convictions and beliefs are grounded in reason, logic and scientific knowledge, independent of religious dogmas or conventions imposed by authority or custom. The practice of freethinking combat prejudice, bigotry, superstition and fallacies.
But ... Eye!. Freethought has existed since man first sat on the floor to reflect. The Enlightenment and Revolution French did nothing to rescue a concept that was always there. The pre-Socratic philosophers, Buddha, or Giordano Bruno intellectual freedom practiced long before Voltaire, Diderot, d'Alembert and Encyclopedia.
If you look at the social processes and revolutions, we see that inevitably the story was embellished, decorate and decorate radical changes that are only possible by the existence of human beings able to break the stagnation of the moment in which we live. Humanity falls cyclically old vices with new names, and is the force of reason that allows this "realization" of inequality, of contempt for the virtues and the inertia that both appellant agrees to certain minorities.
What can we do?
lot. We can start becoming aware of the current status of this individualistic society light and wastes no time in talking about human values. In a few decades the world has changed faster than hundreds of years, and the old social institutions have not been able to evolve with the times. We provide information on all sides, we encourages competition and once we teach needs unimaginable to our grandparents. Our hope is largely in education we can give to those who come after us, and pass on the knowledge that the virtues not related to particular political or religious conviction, but the search for continuous improvement of the human being, and his duty to his fellows.
