Pseudo-humanism byP. R. Sarkar
We were discussing socio-sentiment. When sentiment expands beyond the
limit of an individual to embrace others also, it is called "socio-
sentiment." Where does it end?
Just as zero cannot have any radius, infinity has no radius either.
You can form a circle with a radiusgreater than zero but less than
infinity; only in this circumstance can it exist. Unless the radius of
anything is greater than zero and less than infinity,its existence
becomes meaningless. Then there may be existence in theory but not in
actuality.
Now, family sentiment is also a kind of socio-sentiment, but its
radius isvery small. Greater than this is the radius of caste
sentiment, and still greater is that of community sentiment, national
sentiment, international sentiment and so on. Now, the narrowest of
all the socio-sentiments is technically called "socio-sentiment
minimitis"; and the greatest is called "socio-sentiment maximitis" or
"socio-sentiment excellencio". What is the difference between these
two terms?
The small theoretical gap between excellencio and maximitis makes
little difference so far as the collective welfare is concerned. It
merely soarshigh in the realm of theory, just like the argument
whether the pot contains the oil or theoil is contained in the pot,or
the argument whether the palmyra fruit falls firstor the sound of its
hitting the ground comes first. This is how the ancient logicians used
to endlessly debate.
