Synopses & Reviews
La consciencia de la liquidacion del individuo por el tipo de colectivismo que ha llegado a imperar bajo el capitalismo tardio es el revulsivo final que propicia la concepcion de otra existencia individual, libre de la esclavitud de la ley economica, que sea la verdadera sustancia de la colectividad. Las significativas fechas que enmarcan la composicion de estos escritos - fechas que, por razones historicas y personales del autor, le hacen escribir desde un forzoso recluimiento en su intimidad - propiciaran una concentracion creativa que, a un filosofo coma el, tan ajeno a la oficialidad, no podia por menos de animarle a expresarse en un genero tan poco academico coma el aforistico.
