Abstract

This article offers an Austrian interpretation about the loss of the social nature of the individual and its implication in the configuration of social order in Colombia.

In the mechanical conception, order is only understood as an entelechy, which means that its constituents are stripped of their experiences and customs, propitiating the presence of a planner who artificially gives life to individuals and can order them. This point is relevant to understanding the difficulty in imposing limits on governmental arrogance.
