Le capitalisme libéral chez Francis Fukuyama : état de la question, interrogations et perspectives

Abstract

This research work the fuels reflective design of submitting to analytical scruting, the deployment modes of liberal capitalism and their impact on actual society. Francis Fukuyama, leveraging his inquiring mind to tackle the chanlleges of economic globalization, belives that human beings are driven by thymos. As such, without overlooking the advancement of neoliberalism under the guise of the deification of material possessions. That is to say nummotheism, Francis Fukuyama deduces that liberal capitalism far from ontologizing fictions and in a world where axiological, ethical and aesthetical refferences are polemological, liberalism must be considered as the liberal anchorage paradigmatic of the realization of the end of history, since it is the vector of liberal democracy, which puts an end to the existence of diverse social classes. By articulating the precise philosophical concern surrounding the problem of the meaning of existence, we can understand why the american economist conceives of democratic liberalism, which is the political form of capitalism. As a reconciliatony instance of different social classes. This inevitably leads to the advent of the last man. Liberal capitalism, although having dark areas in its deployement methods, is consequently perceived as the most persuasive and laudatory economico-social production mode. He singns, in broad paragraphs, the death certificate of social pluralism and rethinks, anew, the global society as monolithic block opposing the old political regimes, notably communism and socialism, which could no longer deliver. It is, following the above legitimate to think that liberal capitalism, as mode of production marks the requiem of idealistic conception of history highlighted by Hegel and the communism celebrated and exalted by Karl Marx. Serves as a prelude to the deconstruction of current societies. Therefore, it is legitimate to question the epistemological status of fukuyama’s conception of liberal capitalism, in relation to current politico-economic events to answer this question using an analytical-dialectical method, it is necessary to consider along with Francis Fukuyama, that regarding the modes of organization of society, liberal capitalism is the highest form of the humanity since it is the expression of the evolutionary eschatology of history. From this perspective, the desired outcome is as follows: while liberal capitalism is idealistically salvific from a critical standpoint, it must take into account the differences between peoples, on the one hand, and preserve human, axiological, and cultural plurality, on the other. This synomymous with objectifying the human and pluriversal world beyond the navaging ideologism that is afflicting the contemporany world.
