This uncertainty, however, led to a nearly picturesque environment, described by legislators of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988. Rushing at the last minute, the constituents were obliged to make a distinction between “communication” and “social communication,” because the term semantically encompassed telephones and telecommunications. Without the distinction of the adjective “social,” the latter industries would be exempt from taxation.

It is important to note that these clichés are not exclusive to Hegel. In fact, they appear in the thinking of fundamental, modern philosophers such as Kant, Marx, and, temporally closer to us, Heidegger, who affirmed that “blacks have no history” or “have as much history as the monkeys and the birds.”
