Escohotado, as usual, doesn't give you answers; he teaches you how to ask the right questions on a journey to the very origin of our ideas. We chose it because it is \u003cb\u003ea true gymnasium for the mind\u003c\/b\u003e; a work that leaves you more lucid and free than you were before opening it.

The reader will find references to Homer, Hesiod, the Presocratics, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, among others, with an approach that moves away from cold academicism to recover the original meaning of word, ritual, and thought. Each chapter functions as a \"milestone\" that invites pausing and reflecting on how the Greek world conceived of the real, the just, the beautiful, and the true. In \u003ci\u003eHitos del sentido\u003c\/i\u003e, classical tradition is not just an object of study, but a starting point for rethinking our present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntonio Escohotado (1941-2021) was one of the most unique and erudite thinkers of recent Spanish history, an unclassifiable figure who dedicated his life to philosophy with absolute intellectual independence. Considered a true \"sniper\" of thought, he always swam against the current of ideological fads, staunchly defending individual freedom. His legacy includes works of overwhelming rigor that challenged the prejudices and official discourse of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Espasa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition:\u003c\/b\u003e 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788467057331\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Espasa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54845390324038,"sku":"Est7\/Bal5\/caja1-1","price":23.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5590\/3302\/files\/HitosdelsentidoA.webp?v=1753369029","url":"https:\/\/libreriacasadrojan.com\/en\/products\/hitos-del-sentido","provider":"Librería Casa Drojan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
