Since reaching the consciousness of being human, mankind has been trying to make sense of his existence on earth; searching for meaning, and has inevitably reached the idea of an external world. In the human mind, which tries to explain events by assigning a spirit to every movement it senses, the great spirits responsible for natural events with great consequences are gradually drawn into the skies; they turn into gods of mercy and wrath. The rational search manages to combine the dilemma here with a superior mind (Great Spirit) and a kind of cosmic monism (yin - yang) is achieved. Thus, in more animist times, a universe (paradigm) that is harmonious within itself, provides the source of morality and social norms has been constructed. Indeed, human behavior derives its legitimacy from its participation in this harmonious structure. However, political preferences begin to direct this process, which takes shape in the shadow of social relations. The allegedly ontological explanations of the upper classes regarding their right to be higher in the social hierarchy erode rationality.
