Document Summary

Establishment of liberalism will modify the social landscape in europe: manufacturing / industrialization, urbanization. This will cause two new social forces to be born: displaced nobles, modern working class will emerge, both will help create ideologies. The meaning/movement of the universe is given by a superior being. Human beings are naturally good, we have this superior principle of good within us. We must submit ourselves to the order of the universe. The goal of life, the meaning of existence, is not simply to live and to be happy. The goal are not responsible for the creation of the universe or the meaning of it. We must accept the fact that we cannot penetrate the meaning of the universe because it is given by a superior being, who has a higher rational thought. Almost always in a struggle with the inferior principle of evil.
