2. Nueva Ilustración Radical
A concise philosophical manifesto that diagnoses a “posthumous” present marked by resignation, outsourced thinking, and the commodification of knowledge, and argues for rekindling a radical form of enlightenment rooted in shared responsibility. It calls for collective intelligence, critical education, and the construction of common worlds to confront neoliberal fatalism, techno-solutionism, and systemic inequality. Urgent yet practical, it invites readers to reconnect thought with action and to reinvent emancipation through everyday practices of cooperation and care.
