Summary/Abstract: "The elitist" we have to think differently today. Farther and deeper, reaching beyond the social, not referring the elitist to the social layer. The elitist - that is, the elitist, which requires our care and pleading for what is important and forgotten - would be founded on human discipline. It would be formulated outside of herd thinking, whether it is related to a larger or smaller group, leadership or not. The elitist - necessarily referred to the subject - would consist (1) in cultivating a responsible, undisciplined thought (2) while maintaining discipline in life. The source of elitism is man, not society.
