Durkheim had recognized as the creation of a science of reality structural historical, which he defined as “social structure”, would lead at the preconditions for the implementation of the “conscience” of the same structural reality (1).
The working classes, though less educated, have a more concrete perception of the historical reality, of how much they have, often, the members to the upper classes. This, for the contact harder and more direct, with the reality structural statual. This spontaneous conscience, if based on a knowledge of genuinely scientific, would have devastating effects on the same structural reality and its evolutionary dynamics.
