While The State Becomes Inflated And Hypertrophied

Faith Is Not Uprooted By Dialectic Proof; It Must Already Be Deeply Shaken By Other Causes To Be Unable To Withstand The Shock Of Argument.

Society Is Not A Mere Sum Of Individuals. Rather, The System Formed By Their Association Represents A Specific Reality Which Has Its Own Characteristics... The Group Thinks, Feels, And Acts Quite Differently From The Way In Which Its Members Would Were They Isolated. If, Then, We Begin With The Individual, We Shall Be Able To Understand Nothing Of What Takes Place In The Group.

There Is A Collective As Well As An Individual Humor Inclining Peoples To Sadness Or Cheerfulness, Making Them See Things In Bright Or Somber Lights. In Fact, Only Society Can Pass A Collective Opinion On The Value Of Human Life; For This The Individual Is Incompetent.

While The State Becomes Inflated And Hypertrophied In Order To Obtain A Firm Enough Grip Upon Individuals, But Without Succeeding, The Latter, Without Mutual Relationships, Tumble Over One Another Like So Many Liquid Molecules, Encountering No Central Energy To Retain, Fix And Organize Them.

Religious Representations Are Collective Representations Which Express Collective Realities.
