Summary:
"Nosotros, los hijos de la Ilustración, hemos apostado toda nuestra energía a la razón ignorando que su colosal despliegue nos iba a enfrentar, inexorablemente, a las limitaciones del conocimiento nomotético: la razón, la lógica y la ciencia no pueden dar sino testimonios de finitud. Desde su visión crítica todo muere, no hay cohesión ni unidad perdurable, la flecha del tiempo concluye descomponiendo las estructuras. No hace falta reiterar que la ciencia es merecedora del mayor respeto, que acrece día a día nuestra viabilidad y combate hasta el extremo la disolución. Pero allí encuentra su límite. El esfuerzo y la nobleza de la investigación científica, al menos, elevan el drama hasta la magna dignidad de la tragedia. Pero, ¿ello nos basta? Occidente, Oriente y el sentido de la vida es un ensayo filosófico que, a partir de la jerarquización ontológica y del pensamiento postrero de Heidegger, procura unir los cauces hasta ahora separados de estas dos grandes culturas, centrando su objetivo en el sentido de la vida. Para ello recorre los hitos capitales de las filosofías de Occidente y de Oriente a través de sus respectivas historias y sistemas de pensamiento. Posee un interés no sólo académico, dado que su desarrollo didáctico facilita la comprensión sin resignar el rigor intelectual. Tampoco se resigna a desacralizar la esperanza."--Back cover
"We, the children of the Enlightenment, have bet all our energy on reason, ignoring that its colossal deployment was going to confront us, inexorably, with the limitations of nomothetic knowledge: reason, logic and science can only give testimonies of finitude . From his critical vision everything dies, there is no cohesion or enduring unity, the arrow of time concludes by decomposing the structures. It is not necessary to reiterate that science is worthy of the greatest respect, which increases our viability day by day and fights to the extreme the dissolution. But there he finds his limit. The effort and nobility of scientific research, at least, raise the drama to the great dignity of tragedy. But is that enough for us? The West, the East and the meaning of life is a philosophical essay that, based on the ontological hierarchization and Heidegger's last thought, seeks to unite the channels that have been separated from these two great cultures, focusing their objective on the meaning of life . To do so, it traverses the capital milestones of the philosophies of the West and the East through their respective histories and systems of thought. It has an interest not only academic, since its didactic development facilitates the understanding without resigning the intellectual rigor. Nor is he resigned to desacralize hope."--Google translate from the Spanish
