RESUMO

Our work was started with the following questions: is it possible to identify a spirituality in the super capitalist world? Is there any alternative to this spirituality? The central hypothesis of our research is: there is the possibility of spirituality from the moment when there is a possibility of human choice. Thus the current dissociety (dissociété) is the result of the lifes dynamic and a framework of values built by human choices moved by the values of maximizing the self interest and the utilitarianism. In the first chapter, we review the concepts of "spirit" and "spirituality". In the second chapter, we analyze the current capitalist society, that we call super capitalist, by using the terminology of Robert Reich. We shall admit that it is not the result of a fatality. It is being built by the choices of many of its protagonists. In the third chapter, we look at spirituality, as concern as a dynamic of life, which inspires this super capitalist society. We shall verify that this momentum is supported mainly by the exercise of consumption and the cult of performance. The result is the increasingly shared experience of being "tired of being himself." In the fourth chapter, we analyze the framework of values that sustain the capitalism and the transformation of current society in a dissociety. In the fifth chapter, we will consider a possible alternative: the redemption/rescue of the human experience consciousness of being created and the human vocation of being a creator
