Summary/Abstract: The common good is realized in the encounter of those moments that reveal the passage from the historical identification of truth to redemption as an archetypal recognition by man of God the Creator, letting that special explosion give life to the discreet in the order of nature and the world: revolution and utopia are in fact the upheaval that indicates a social destructive disorder. In this condition man succeeds in arriving at a dimension of atonement of the past and its events, being able to evaluate his existence as often uncertain in the unfolding of his events, deducing, from his signs and his plausible correspondences, a bond that emerges linear for having been many times interrupted and resumed, and not confined to an Anderswo, distant, unattainable and indeterminable. Violence strikes in these cases the sovereign political event leading to a sacrificial crisis.
