Fascists and communists, extreme right wing fanatics and ISIS hate change, love history remember the good old days , and think the same as the leaders. This is the call of the tribe. That is what bewilders me. There was one very sad reflection. Raymond Aron knew Jean Paul Sartre but did not agree with his views on communism. Sartre vehemently denied the Soviets had gulag work camps, later proven by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. MVLL went to see the th anniversary of Sartre a few years back as the French had gone all out to celebrate.
It was also the same centenary of Aron; much less fan fare. There was an awful lot to digest here.
I am still bewildered because of what I believed in I would say I am a liberal thinker seems to be collapsing all around me. This was a master work of writing. It is very timely but I fear, is it too late. I certainly have even more respect for Mario Vargas Llosa. Writing in his early 80s, he has lost none of his fire.
On a personal note, review Jun 13, Gordon rated it really liked it. Mario Vargas Llosa is a great novelist, and it's interesting to understand how his evolving political beliefs changed from the Marxism of his youth to the market-loving, quasi-libertarianism of his later years. That evolution was influenced by a handful of key thinkers, whose work he outlines in this volume. These include Adam Smith the best chapter of the book , Jose Ortega y Gassett, Raymon [This book is currently only available in Spanish as of June , but I suspect that will soon change].
Some of these are relatively unknown in the English-speaking world outside the world of academia, especially if they weren't either British or American. Interestingly, the earliest of these writers, Adam Smith, remains by far the most influential in his intellectual, social and economic impact. Von Hayek also maintains a selective influence, particularly in right-wing US circles among those who read political theory, though von Hayek himself would no doubt be bewildered by the very anti-democratic, authoritarian turn which the US right has taken.
The illiberal, plutocratic, authoritarian democracy of Trump is not at all what either von Hayek or Smith had in mind -- though of course Trump is wildly unlikely to have read either. Vargas Llosa says that all these writers influenced him on his path to "liberalism", a term he uses in its more European sense of being strongly in support of the free market, the rule of law, and a relatively small role for government, yet within a democratic system -- a center-right political position. In contrast, in the US, "liberalism" generally means being more center-left, with a progressive view of the role of government in playing a more active role to provide social services and to regulate markets where excessive market share concentration or externalities positive or negative create dysfunction.
Both definitions of liberalism assume democracy, rule of law and a largely market-based economic system. It also killed several tens of thousands of Peruvians, from Lima all the way to the remotest of Andean villages. Sendero Luminoso embodied all the worst of Marxist-Leninism and its Maoist variant, with its contempt for human rights, the rule of law and the value of human rights and in its belief that a violent, armed group could take upon itself the role of imposing its authoritarian rule over vast swaths of the countryside.
Whatever the flaws of liberal democracy, it is -- as the saying goes -- the worst of political systems, except for all the rest.

Lo vivido echa luces sobre lo pensado y vice-versa. Su pluma no ha perdido nada del entusiasmo del convencido. Son viejas ideas para nuevos contextos. Es un subrayado de coyuntura.

I have now traded my pessimism and gloom for cautious optimism. Retrospective Prospections Archaeologies of the Self. Rose, en Questions of Cultural Identity, ed. Stuart Hall y Paul du Gay, Communications technologies frequently include a representation of self: This representation of the communicating self can be viewed either as an instrument that is deployed by the "true" self or as a being with a mind of its own. The general self and the communicating self, unpacked into separate but related selves, can be recaptured by a human-scale blend.
The blend might have the two related selves in conversation.

Or it might have a new version of the self that inherits aspects of both the general self and the communicating self. This unpacking and repacking of the self has been imagined in many fictional works, ranging from stories of avatars or disguises or masked performances to the explicit separation of self and daimon in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials.
Second Life contains a representation of the communicating self: The avatar presents many possibilities for unpacking and reblending the self. The avatar can be designed so as to be a separate self, a site of experimentation with selfhood. A personal narrative then arises through the vehicle of language. Indeed a personal narrative is required, expected and placed upon every human being, by the very nature of human language. This personal narrative becomes organized around the anticipated bodily changes that it is imagined will take place from birth to old age.

The power of the bifurcated mind, through linguistically encoded expectancies, shapes and molds all of human behavior. When these capacities are jointly executed by other similar minds — the substrate of human culture is manufactured.
