AVILA VASQUEZ, Manuel Oswaldo. Guernica or pain, war and nihilism. []. , 15, 24, pp.243-255. ISSN 0124-6127.

The text seeks to reflect, from the work of Pablo Picasso Guernica, about the character they have acquired the conflicts between human beings in the last century. That is, about an era in which all men are in a condition to be removable. This because this is a time, as we saw from the 1930s thinkers like Heidegger and Jünger, which is characterized by nihilism, the reconciliation of technical and scientific development and the idea of progress and why , more recently, Sloterdijk has called atmoterrorismo. And all this, in the words of Freud, the service of that sinister "primitive man" who dwells in us. The question is: what does that tell us today the great works of Picasso, and more precisely, the conditions that made it possible? Well worth a response.

: atmoterrorismo; conflict; technical-scientific development; instincts; nihilism.
