We analyze the hegemony of the woke ideology and its consequences.

It’s widely acknowledged that human beings, unlike other life forms, necessitate comprehension of both themselves and their circumstances. Human beings who are unaware of the situation in which they find themselves do not know themselves, and are therefore absent, and this absence, caused by a lack of understanding of reality, ends up preventing them from being part of their moment in history, of what corresponds to their own time. However, in order to understand the reality that “we have been forced to live in”, we have the task of understanding what the history of ideas calls postmodernity, and the philosophical legacy that has fashioned the political ideologies that have shaped our Western societies for half a century.

Many intellectuals devote their careers and research to understanding the changes in culture, customs and the understanding of reality that shape their society. Awareness of socio-political phenomena is essential for anyone who wants to be in touch with reality. This takes on particular relevance when the characteristic feature of our societies has begun to be what we might call a crisis of reality, i.e. when legitimate differences of opinion and views of life have become so pronounced that they end up becoming antagonistic and irreconcilable versions of reality, of what is meaningful and what is meaningless. Our ideological differences are much more than mere political differences that pit different parties against each other. They are differences regarding what is real and what the sources of reality are, making the proposals for social organisation offered by the different political stances incompatible with a new radicalism. This is evident in the lack of genuine political debate and discussion. The precision exhibited in the political debates of our leaders is intricately linked to their divergent comprehension of reality, which varies significantly across numerous facets. Engaging in substantive discourse necessitates an initial consensus on a multitude of matters. T his crisis of reality leads to the study of the new ideological trends underlying the Woke culture, in whose repertoire we find Gender Ideology, Feminism in its postmodern interpretation, and Environmentalism as a new standard of morality that bases its demands on the scientific nature of its premises. These socio-political phenomena are causing Western societies to structure themselves under a new concept of the nature of man and woman, of morality and of the role of the state, public policies, and social participation and action, and therefore, the main objective of this paper is to offer an analysis of the nature of these ideologies and their expression in the societies where they demonstrate a hegemonic dominance.
