Abstract

<p><em>This article offers a strategy of human liberation centering itself on an open attitude before nothingness, its recognition, and valuation for personal life. Far from being a religious, fundamentalist, or proselytizing proposal, the text presents an argument against the attitude of searching for the Truth, understanding it as the absolute certainty. It starts off from the idea that man must relativize all processes of interpretation, this is to say, all hermeneutic exercises; with this, it is warned, it will be possible to liberate oneself from the exclusively linguistic search and from the linear or univocal learning. From this will be derived the contemplation of the option of being concerned for oneself, such as Foucault suggested, and of finding audible traces in silence which invite towards the comprehension of a nihilistic logic that is liberating from enslaving structures. </em></p>

Highlights

All conceptions of that which may be best for man, has an anthropological reference to which it always remains dependent
If we are to refer to a concept of the Being in a constant dialect towards Nothingness, to expect that this supposes a structural modification in the anthropological conception and, the modification in the conception about human development or that which is best for humans, is notable and comprehensible
I will refer to a new conception of the natural path towards the integral improvement of the present-day individual centered on Nothingness

Summary

Introduction

All conceptions of that which may be best for man, has an anthropological reference to which it always remains dependent. Perhaps the words we use are a way to attempt to fill the silences we have before things, a manner of avoiding Nothingness.
