An Evolutionary Model: Social Justice–Societal System

This chapter is a tentative synthesis, also in a logical form, of the most relevant findings and proposals in the previous chapters, namely a trying to build up a model that connects the social justice (including the PLC—plenary life chain) with the general unfolding of the society. More exactly, the four societal forces established in Chapter 2 are invoked to be integrated into a micromodel of the societal chreod, including the social justice (respectively, the realization of the human generic being). To this end, in addition to the four societal forces, a hierarchy of relevance is established for each of them, regarding their functions. Next, two layers of evolution are introduced, one for each of the societal forces (regional layers) and the other at the societal level (global/integrated layer). For each of the societal forces, the genotype and phenotype are established, and the binomial evolutionary models are built and examined. Further, the quadrinomial evolutionary model is designed to put into evidence the logical, causal, and dynamic relationships between social justice and the societal chreod. This time, the genotype and phenotype, respectively, are established directly at the level of the societal forces, and the evolutionary mechanisms are developed analytically. The concept of structural selection is introduced for the quadrinomial evolutionary model. For the reasoning necessities, the concept of the order of urgency is introduced to explain the “chronology” of selection in the quadrinomial model. Since both in the binomial models and in the quadrinomial one the correspondence-truth is no longer adequate, in Annex is introduced and analytically discussed the concept of the teleological truth, and a tetravalent logic for the societal field is suggested, with its truth values. Also, some critical issues regarding the testability in the societal field.
