Path towards universalization

The search for social peace in Eric Weil

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the thought of the German philosopher Eric Weil (1904 - 1977), especially his idea of socialization and universalization, present in the work Political philosophy (1956). First we will investigate the problem of natural evil or violence, inherited so naturally by the man, after coming to the study on the need to overcome this violence, manifested in the particular individual and that is also manifested in society. Finally, will study the duty of the political philosopher, namely, the overcoming and effectiveness of a society increasingly universalized, that duty which makes philosophy essential to the globalized society of the twenty-first century.
