Abstract
“The revolution of man is the revolution of his mind”. It implies the possibility of thinking beyond himself, to understand his raison d'être, as a criticism of his own material activity, that locks him out in a perpetual animal state. As the German philosopher Georg Simmel implies in his philosophical work, man is the only animal that refines itself by looking beyond himself. As we cling to our organic shell, we have no choice but to revolutionize life, by the incessant and dynamic eruption of collective ideas of all kinds; which in turn happen infinitely in our own heads, as a fractalization of dreams and hopes. Modern man lives subjugated by the political spirit of the domination of men by men (Weber), in the actual puzzling urban configuration of our cities.
