Society Overlooked Strategy Of Will

By using the example that we are a slave to a higher being Baudrillard would respond that in the pursuit of emancipation one should consider unburdening oneself of accountability. In doing this one becomes a guided being; rather than a being with a constant upheaval to be a moral individual: This is a strategy for living as Baudrillard puts it: ‘Placing oneself in the hands of another with respect to will, belief, love or choice is not an abdication but a strategy…’ (Baudrillard, J).

The politics of universalism suggests that beings have privileges to feelings and of will; in that it is required that we have equal worth. Devoid of the same worth, will and belief are reduced in value and meaning. An example of this is state perfectionalism, where the state set principles and laws for the wider society.
