Abstract

Contemporary historical-philosophical discourse has not only renounced its ancestral commitment to the emblematic postulates of humanism, reason, truth and will, but has gradually adopted the structure and the erotic and rhetorical manners of propaganda, where the best argument or the eloquent force of things no longer apply as criteria of truth, but the mercantile success and the manipulable assent of the masses. However, in the emptiness left by his non-sayings is where the new stories of emancipation are currently gestating and maturing.
