We have two worlds, the macro world, the big and the micro world,
the small… we see this in physics… the big prize in physics is
the person who can unite the large, the large scale universe,
the galaxies, the stars, the planets, Disneyland…
and the small, the micro stuff, atoms, the quantum world…
in which we cannot, unlike the macro world, we cannot
explain or predict the micro stuff… we cannot unify this
two aspects of physics, the very large and the very small…
and we see the exact same thing in the human world…
we have the large, the state, society, culture
and we have the small, which is us… human beings,
you and me… how do we unite the two area’s, the very small,
single human beings and the very large… society, the state…
how do we fit together? How do we impact each other?
how do change each other? what is the exact relationship
between the small, individuals and the large, the state, the society?
from Plato to Rawls, many have tried to unify the two, but none
has really succeeded…so, what is the unifying factor between the single
human being, the small and the large, society?
