4.9/5 (20138 ratings)

Description:First in-depth analysis of this important Mexican philosophers work. The Suspension of Seriousness engages the Mexican philosopher Jorge Portilla (19191963), taking note of Portillas philosophical methodology, insights, and contributions to our understanding of value, being, and subjectivity. Portilla lived a short, troubled life and never held a teaching appointment, but his works, though few in number, were nevertheless philosophically penetrating. He is a legendary character in the Mexican popular imagination of the 1940s and 50s, but little has been written about him or his philosophy. His posthumously published Fenomenologa del relajo is a phenomenological analysis of what Portilla calls relajo or the state we assume when we do not want to do what is seriously being asked of uswhat is demanded of us. It is, Portilla says, the suspension of seriousness. Carlos Alberto Snchez uses Portillas Fenomenologa del relajo as a point of departure to consider the dangers both of our uncritical adherence to values as well as our urge to reject values altogether. He argues that Portilla provides a framework in which to situate the modern condition, ourselves, and our future. The first authorized English translation of Portillas Fenomenologa del relajo is included.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
