Abstract

BELTRAN GARCIA, IVER A.. LUIS VILLORO: THE CHALLENGE OF A NEW COMMUNITY AND THE TASKS OF CRITICAL REASON. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2020, vol.69, n.173, pp.103-122.  Epub Nov 12, 2020. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v69n173.67154.

Luis Villoro suggested a way of overcoming the dialectics between traditional and modern societies through a new community in which individuals would accept the priority of general over particular interests. On the basis of his conceptual scheme, the article argues that despite that acceptance, individual autonomy, as critical activity, does not threaten community cohesion, but rather strengthens it through the critique of ideologies and of vitally inauthentic cultural forms.

Keywords : L. Villoro; community; ideology; modernity; tradition.
