It is possible that never before has a historical moment been quite so paradoxical as the present. The planet has never been more conducive to human life, with increasing technical and scientific development in all areas of knowledge and production; especially those directly linked to ensuring survival, reducing child mortality, decreasing global hunger, increased life expectancy, increasingly broad access to education and health, access to information and communication are among other progress that can be quantified. It is well known that the globalisation process – with the expansion of the benefits of representative democracy and neoliberal capitalism – brought certain advantages to human life in general and gave new outlines to what became known as biopolitics. However, human beings are never satisfied. This is manifested in the growing number of protests and demonstrations around the world in recent years. The revolt is widespread and there is no definite pattern among the demonstrators or among the targets of the demonstrations, so it can be assumed that the protests are against politics itself. If politics is widely understood as the human way of being in the world and in the meaning and, therefore, as the very relationship that is established between the meaning and the world, between speech and place, then it is necessary to understand what is called “a crisis of representation” is something far more dangerous for the human than mere dissatisfaction and mere mutual distrust between representatives and those represented. Actually, it is in the very valorisation of life and technical and scientific progress that the human is progressively alienated from their own humanity. Both the world and meaning are deprived of human when action and thought are abandoned to the plan of mere making and mere reckoning that are simply functional. But this happens in a long history of abandonment of meaning of being towards the subject's actuality. It is therefore necessary to understand, that in the relations of truth, what is at play is the world and what is in question is the meaning
