Commentary on Manichaeism and Public Discourse

In this article, the author comments on the increasing Manichaeism in public discourse, as seen in the recent discussion about the sacrifice of Grigoris Afxentiou. He argues that society is regressing by reacting emotionally and rejecting a priori anything that falls outside the 'framework'.

He refers to Menelaos Lountemis's quote 'It took millions of years for man to stand from four feet to two. I will not make it four again' and to Archimandrite Philotheos Faros's statement 'Anything that does not contain the quality of doubt is dangerous'.

The author emphasizes that History is receptive to documented revisions and encourages reflection. He closes the article by announcing that this is his last piece in 'Phileleftheros' after 19 years of collaboration.
