Double political metaphor, from Leviathan and superman to the Devil and superpower, cosmopolitan program of formal logic against the language barrier

This paper explores the dynamic interplay between progressive and conservative forces in political evolution, drawing an analogy between the mechanisms of state adaptation and biological evolution. It further extends this perspective into the realm of international relations, introducing the concept of the "Devil" as a supranational entity that could resolve the anarchic structure of global politics. Additionally, it examines a cosmopolitan program based on formal logic as a means of overcoming linguistic barriers, and formulates an existentialist definition of superpower through the notion of the superman. Finally, the paper synthesizes these ideas into the concept of the "Super-Devil"—the ultimate form of power that transcends traditional sovereignty and ideological conflicts.

Abstract

This paper explores the dynamic interplay between progressive and conservative forces in political evolution, drawing an analogy between the mechanisms of state adaptation and biological evolution. It further extends this perspective into the realm of international relations, introducing the concept of the "Devil" as a supranational entity that could resolve the anarchic structure of global politics. Additionally, it examines a cosmopolitan program based on formal logic as a means of overcoming linguistic barriers, and formulates an existentialist definition of superpower through the notion of the superman. Finally, the paper synthesizes these ideas into the concept of the "Super-Devil"—the ultimate form of power that transcends traditional sovereignty and ideological conflicts.
