Nobility and Civil Order: Three Ways of Adaptation

In the modern meritocracy, the principle of recognition is fundamentally changing in favor of self-responsible results. The educational patent takes the place of wealth and possession, which structured the life chances and neutralizes old-fashioned claims for validity. Beyond the historically determined lines of tension between the nobility and the bourgeoisie, this can beEthnographically determine the environment of the nobility, without following envy of polemics or self-heroization.

The substance of the nobility after Simmel

The substance that forms the individual must have passed through the uniform stem of the whole, similar to the substance of a branch, which has formed the stem. This sociological constitution explains the aversion to the work that the aristocracy has shown through social history. With the actual work, the individual indulges in an object, wherebyThe doing is directed to an impersonal structure and finds its perfection there.

The personal attitude towards life aristocracy

This contradicts the fundamental attitude towards life of the aristocracy, since this is absolutely personal and finds its center in the being of the individual. The nobleman is busy, but he doesn’t work, because the accent is on the individual’s probation of strength. Here of nobility as a historical individual in the Weber sense is mentioned, of a unique estateunity.

Incompatibility with civil work

This unity is incompatible with the basic probation for work, which is fundamental for bourgeois society, which means not laziness. It is more a distance to specialization and to professional training than to the qualification typical for modern structure. The peculiarity of the environment is expressed in the fact that its members have a promise of quality in advancesurrounded.

The promise of kindness and immortality

This promise is valid without probation in objectified work and the idea of an unshakable value justifies the idea of an immortality across generations of one’s own status. Self-sufficiency is derived from this idea, as is the tendency to self-closure and distance from other environments. The question arises as to what to do with such aexclusive shaping of existence happens when it is deprived of rank pretensions.

The loss of rank pretentions

We want to leave out the ongoing claims to assets and possessions and ask about the normative and factual loss. How does a social milieu come from a pride of origin with the requirements of a new design principle geared towards the future and self-responsibility. Non-employment opportunities open up to the members of the nobility in those areas thatderive their task from continuity assurance.

Fight and hunt as a function determination

These areas are derived from fight and hunting and in the officer corps as well as in diplomacy, job profiles are in demand. The aristocratic environment is well prepared for these profiles in sociological and ethical principles. German history in particular finds the nobility in a prominent place where overarching interests are to be represented.

Representation of overriding interests

These interests transcend daily politics and one can live for the state in particular in its territorial constitution. The army leadership and leadership positions in the various types of weapons appear attractive to members of the nobility. Defense of the territory and justification of decisions mean challenges for a draft of ethical probation.

Horizon of Fight and Crisis

These challenges lie in the horizon of struggle and crisis, and three options can be distinguished beyond this congruence of origin and function determination. First, the nobility takes over the bourgeois format and redeems the affiliations based on origin and the avoidance of the titles. The strategies of lifestyle are subject to civil performance-related criteriaand professional training is the goal of career planning.

First option of customization

The traffic circle intensity characteristic of the aristocratic shrinks to a normal level of encounters and becomes social substitutes with relative importance. Just as the bourgeois performance professions organize their social socialities under the application of the performance principle, the nobility integrates itself without any problems. It fits into the ready formats of collegiality andassociation and private lifestyle and public engagement.

Second option of media presence

Second, the nobility cultivates the milieu-typical idea of rank continuity in the form of a permanent presence in mentioned journalism. Members of the nobility have the option of receiving a suggestion of eternal importance via the path of glamorization. A court socialization can be organized in a locally neutral manner with the means of modern mass media and is far from everyoneprobation obligation.

Pride of rank by audience

The pride of rank relates to providing an interested audience with the certainty that nobody else is spared any fundamental problems elsewhere. Following the meaning structure of the self-sufficient jewel, the nobility is close to the scene and is hungry for stages at festivals. The nobility organizes classic car races or makes the promise of the eternal of the cosmetics industryobviousness.

Reflection in the happiness of others

You are reflected in the sparkling happiness of the others and appear at the gala as an avant-garde of the donor joy. As a notion, you get the highest key figures of the mention and this is a form of self-care. It reminds those interested in all environments of the old days and goes past the decision-making scenarios of the bourgeois order.

Third option of customization

Thirdly, we approach the Guttenberg case history with the version of an adaptation to the bourgeois order. What is meant is the nobility, who tries to redeem the performance ethics that are mandatory for the bourgeois space in the internalized habitus of eternal significance. On the other hand, this is accomplished in the demonstrative gesture of lack of effort, which thus reflects the milieu-typical devaluation of theworking extended.

Merger of recognition principles

Historically, the epoch leap of pre-bourgeois forms of recognition to the bourgeois version is reversed. This creates the paradoxical gesture of complying with the performance requirements by hand in your pocket and demonstratively distantly. The plagiarism then appears as an expression of an idea, in one’s own life story the epochal difference could bebridge.

Ignoring motivational consequences

The different motivational consequences for the person are ignored and a form of overconfidence arises as a case-specific reason for this quadrature of the traffic circles. This overconfidence puts an environment under the daring character and life-melange of an environment that is revealing to the family dynamically. Attributed self-image is the structural problem of the nobility andIf you project the specialty of the environment into the prerequisites for individual development.

Responses to action for growing up

In this way, general action for the aristocracy of growing up is particularly accentuated and the existence is in the horizon of meaning of what is given. The static and self-sufficient of the environment implies the renunciation of the effort of educating and from the point of view of the growing child, one’s own being is always surrounded by splendor. to absorb and to acquire this shineIt is unnecessary and that the rank of the aristocracy in the socialization environment is assumed to be already acquired is shown in the historical findings.

Delegation of child raising

The nobility considered child-rearing superfluous and often delegated it to expert care and patience. This addition on its own bears the unique unity and self-sufficiency of this state, which can need nothing, so to speak. In the nobility, both from the outside and from the inside perspective, the idea of a counterfactually designedsocializing perfection.

Living Family Novel

In relation to each other, this is a lived family novel in the sense of Sigmund Freud, and nobility is the permanent family novel. If the idea of unquestionably imputed affiliation can be regarded as a structural characteristic of the nobility, then for the socialisation of the offspring this means that one does not have to exert any effort in education. What you inherit from your fathers will acquire in order to own it asImposition skipped as it were for those who are treated as persons animated by the whole.

Self-evident assumptions about action

The young Guttenberg is proudly reported to have mastered the rules of social appearance early on and even giving speeches to his father was one of the obvious assumptions. A situation that makes it difficult for both sons to access the everyday triviality of family life under the conditions of a frequent absence from work.Marital relationships are considered to be systematically endangered due to their understanding logic of high emotional stress, and in the aristocratic environment of predetermined importance, a special feature is added to the marriage.

Marriage of Born Quality

One eventually marries born quality and this leads to either converting the mutual idealization original for love into an idolization. Or one waives a communicative confirmation of the relationship in the everyday life of the couple and from the family history Guttenberg is known that as soon as the sons were born the marriage of the parents was divorced.was lifted in order to circumvent the canonically inadmissible dissolution and the participants mutually granted each other their recognition beyond this step.

Processing the intolerance

In emotional terms, the sons are under the strain of processing the sharpest incompatibility with the environmentally typical radiation of the immortality of their own value. Against the background of the dissolution of parental marriage, the priority of rank is given a special colouring to compensate for the unique position attribution. This is a uniqueIncreasing the expectation of perfection is underpinned by the typical motive for children of divorce to place their own lifestyle under the maxim of reuniting the parents.

Delegation of quality standards

This talent, ascribed to himself, is of particular importance to the extent that the father, who, as the conductor of a lay choir, is musically proficient in self-study instead of professionally in civic matters, delegates the quality standards of successful professionalism to his sons in the career expectations. Family history is always linked to the surrounding history and in the present caseunder these conditions, the idea of a staged fusion of work and employment emerges. Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg, who dances with the moment he seizes the opportunity, is the accomplice of Kairos.

The Ancient God of the Moment

A related figure who has already been described by the ancient poet Poseidippos of Pella in the following conversation and who you are is the question. I am Kairos who conquers everything and why do you walk on tiptoe is the next question what I follow the Kairos run incessantly. Why do you have wings on your foot and I fly like the wind and why do you carry a pointed knife in your handfollows as a further question.

Reminder of the sharpness

To remind people that I am sharper than a knife, the answer is and why a lock of hair falls in your forehead is asked. So that I can grasp who I meet, the explanation and why you are bald at the back of the head is the last question of the conversation. Once I have glided past with a flying foot, no one will catch me from behind so muchhe is also striving for the final response of the Godhead.
