Philosophy, science and religiosity in the thought of the young Carlos Astrada
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the place that philosophy, science and religiosity occupy in the ethical-political thought of young Carlos Astrada (1916-1927). The first part offers the historical-intellectual context: his debate with local positivism, his characterization of the University Reform, as well as his interpretation of the Russian Revolution. In a second part I analyze his notion of «myth» as a challenge to analytical rationality, and as a rebirth of religiosity in the Modernity. In a third section, I propose the «somnambulist intellectual» as a synthesis of his youth’s thought: the search for a «broaded reason».
