“Sobre todo, an escape from phenomenology.” When Foucault argued retrospectively that his generation needed to break theoretically and politically with previous academicism, he indicated the inflection point that today should be examined through different eyes and different experiences.

This hypertrophied theory that De Gaulle “prostituted” Nazism must be radically dubious. This generation, not so much Derrida, someone younger, could only see this winning philosophy of the “Three H’s” (Husserl, Hegel, Heidegger) esteril fireplace in “origen” among the tragedies of the 1920s.
In the case of the first, the project, limited to the theoretical basis in which Honda was born, did not bear the weight of historical life in its concreteness and as a result of the feeling, the functional instance to the relevant the status quo. Academic scholasticism? Well, but our subject XXI remains angry or melancholy.
The dark narcissism of our time you have to meditate again with this question. How will this escape end desagüe, next to the water of this supreme anthropological scumbag, your child?
El gesto socialdemócrata de recuperarlo tomó una primera forma en los 80 a cargo de Jürgen Habermas, que también ya miraba de reojo al Husserl de la Krisis para reconciliar las esferas de la racionalidad desgajadas.
José Luis Villacañas (Úbeda, 1955) nos invita a otras sendas perdidas orientado por una urgencia muchísimo mayor: “No dar al ser humano por perdido […] to regard the human sir as the sir of the earth”.
A sharp and demanding landscape from which the critique of modernity, based on the explicit deception of the erosion of its epistemological, ontological and linguistic foundations, turned into a crisis of critique, which, lost in the generative union with science, the corporation and the “world of life”, forgot, along with the Kantian gesture, the anthropologically constitutive scale.
Where does man come from in this sleight of hand, where a certain expediency to achieve “politics” (Heidegger, Schmitt) comes from, from the origin of the three narcissistic heirs and the challenge of animality?
As a revived Serenus Zeiblom, who soon understands the fatal Gnostic arrogance of a part of contemporary thought, the author chooses his usual heroes – Kant, Weber, Freud, Husserl, Blumenberg and Plessner – but also Hans Jonas, and we create a formidable revelation in contrast to the trend written by the 1929 editor: Ser o Tierra?
Villacañas restores the passionate grandeur of the philosophical vision to frighten it in this forgotten age
This reviewer will no doubt need more pages to stay on top of the thought topics, the physical-social portraits of the protagonists, the interpretation and reconstruction of the fundamental debates about the life problem, questions axial in all contemporary thought.
We have finally realized that we can only aim at this earthly horizon by communicating with the explanatory generosity that these pages highlight.
Cabría, including, wonders if this herencia enterrada por arrogance Ser no one could be more empathetic to other anti-Gnostic “terrestrial” heresies, also proposed by Nietzsche and his Epicurean Grammar, less culturally triumphant, so obscured by literature, and so insensitive to the scientific-anthropological level of what is sometimes interpreted.
Wouldn’t it make sense to start a new dialogue with Kant and Nietzsche and revive historical fragments? If you are someone who will like this idea, you probably will the most personal of its authorIt is that, filled with that calm confidence which testifies to the work of all life, I also to-day regain the passion and humility of a philosophic vision to frighten it in this symbol so proudly despised. Aún, quiz, people, demasiado people.
