La emancipación de la lógica política
Guillermo Pablos Murphy

" Si uno recorre la línea de pensamiento que va de Maquiavelo a Weber, una línea que no es acumulativa ni carece de momentos de retroceso, observará cómo se atanza un modo de entender la política con una lógica propia que la distingue de otras actividades humanas con las que antes estaba demasiado vinculada e incluso confundida. La política moderna se emancipa de la religión, se diferencia de la moral, reclama una validez distinta de la de la ciencia, pugna porque la economía no la condicione demasiado. La grandeza de estos pensadores, su aportación a la democracia (pese a que algunos eran poco o nada demócratas) consistió en haber liberado a la política de un seno religioso-moral que impedía su afirmación como tal, que la sometía a dictados ajenos en una amalgama de constricciones de diverso tipo. " - Daniel Innerarity, (2025), 'La condición política: un elogio de Maquiavelo', in "Revista de Occidente" (Issue 535, December 2025) p. 127

Re: The European Faith

" Once God is subtracted from life, Man is starved of significance. His life no longer makes sense, and he is stricken by the absurdity of his condition of being born to die between two oblivions. ... man’s appetite for identity and transcendence can be satisified, said the liberals, by the packaging of liberal politics as the higher spiritual purpose of mankind. ... This is the reason these viral cults of feverish zealotry seize the minds of millions in hypnotic cycles of mass hysteria. They are not only partnered with the State - they are the means of the production of belief. ... The liberal system ... is a total system, seeking to reform man within and without, and everything around him. All that was, is and will be is to be recast in the liberal image. It is the attempt to replace reality with a permanent illusion of utopia. ... Under these terms and conditions there is no reality but that of the manufactured consensus.
