In the Eyes of God: A Study on the Culture of Suffering: LLILAS Translations from Latin America Series
Autor Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo Traducere de Jessica C. Lockeen Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2006
Drawing on writings from the Greeks to Cervantes, Voltaire to Nietzsche, and Freud to William James, Escalante combines his considerable knowledge of politics and political theory with a vast array of literary examples to arrive at an intellectual understanding of the history and meaning of suffering. His investigation encompasses the rise of popular politics, the role of messianism in modern nationalism, and the contemporary implications of the Shoah.
This book will appeal to a wide audience: students of political theory, humanism, and philosophy, as well as the general reader interested in a glimpse into the mind of a highly original Latin American thinker.
