Governance, state of emergency, and informational monism

French thinker Baptiste Rappin offers us, in volume 2 of his work on organizational theology entitled De l’exception permanente. Théologie de l’organisation, vol. 2, Nice, Ovadia, 2018 (On the Permanent Exception. Theology of Organization, vol. 2), a deeper look into management and management sciences, placing it within the modern and post-modern metaphysical framework and showing how it corresponds to this framework. The Theology of Organization, a deeper look into management and management sciences, placing it within the modern and post-modern metaphysical framework, showing how it corresponds to this framework and how, starting from the obsession with the permanent exception, the crisis, the discontinuous, they build a new totalitarianism, made possible by this interpretation of reality. Whether in management, cybernetics, or politics, reality presents itself in such a way that all human existence and activities must be redesigned to become machines for preventing crisis and creating order out of crisis. This project is based on the cybernetic model of information-processing machines, which use feedback loops. In this context, the notions of sovereignty and autonomy disappear or are redefined, autonomy is no longer defined as the ability to make one’s own laws, but rather to internalize and assimilate information to face the new challenges that the organism/organization is confronted with. This model also leads to a redefinition of human existence, which, to be effective, must constantly adapt and renounce any kind of roots or cultural references/heritage, any reference to the transcendent. Politically, this manifests itself as governance through chaos, through the provocation of crises, which become permanent and lead to the enhancement or restructuring of state order. An example thereof is the Patriot Act, which was issued by the USA after the events on September 11, 2001.
