Modernity is in its final stages and we should embrace with enthusiasm its overcoming. Moral sociology helps us to realize that we are dominated by so many anonymous powers, and never have freedom and life itself been so threatened. Never has the proposition of virtue, personal and collective, been so undermined of its objective value. This book argues for morality over ethics, for community over individualism, for the desacralization of the state and the destatization of the church, and for the need to equip ourselves with new economic paradigms that incorporate gift into the marketplace. We support denuclearization, the inviolability of the family, and the revalorization of work. We advocate for a skeptical democracy that allows us to see it as a process. We review the dichotomies of limit and strangeness, of self-mastery and dependence, of dear service and poverty, and the need to understand ourselves as children, to recover the levels of humanity that, in our opinion, we are losing. Thus, we propose a conscious and grateful rupture with our recent times to give birth to a new culture in which we can envision a future that is only written within the inner soul of each one of us.
