The Values of Killing

Summary/Abstract: The history of mankind is divided into two periods. The first period is that of the culture of love and killing. The second period is the period of the culture of love. Since times immemorial human culture exerts proscriptions of killing and prescriptions of love. Ever since then, however, we have been killing incessantly, furnishing this killing with lofty substantiations. Here they are: killing in necessary self-defense, killing arising from the "nature" (physical and social) of man, killing in the name of justice, killing in the name of freedom, equality, brotherhood and democracy, terrorist killing, killing for punishment, killing in the name of virtue and for immortality, mission killing, killing for love (caritas, pietas and amor), killing in sacrifice, martyrdom killing. In the perspective of these substantiations, killing acquires the highest value, mutually implemented by both the one who is killing and the one who is being killed. We are constantly and continuously in the first period. The second period does not exist.
