Abstract

I reconstruct several deeply rooted deceptions by taking Villoro’s reflections as a starting point: i.e., the alternative consensus/ dissent; the nationalist enthusiasm or the understanding of habits and costumes as «the last word»; a non-reasonable concept of reason. With respect to the latter I make use of some observations owed to Muguerza to further develop the discussion.

Summary

Introduction

I reconstruct several deeply rooted deceptions by taking Villoro’s reflections as a starting point: i.e., the alternative consensus/dissent; the nationalist enthusiasm or the understanding of habits and costumes as «the last word»; a non-reasonable concept of reason. Con el propósito de vagamente esbozar algunos primeros pasos en el combate a la razón arrogante, discutiré algunas ideas del libro Los retos de la sociedad por venir 1 de Luis Villoro. Con esa descripción pueden concordar incluso gente terca y, de seguro, confundida que, como yo, a menudo discrepan con Villoro, y hasta lo hacen de manera radical.
