¿Escapar de la condición humana?

Escape from the human condition

Abstract

This paper addresses the idea of the apocalypse, as it is one of the social imaginar- ies that currently predominates. The fantastic thinking generated around predic- tions about the “supposed” events to come is one of the most recurrent topics on social networks, as well as in a wide range of books and magazines. However, the problem is that it generates a certain conformism that leads broad social sectors to disengage from the present. Based on Fernando Vallejo’s work La Puta de Babilonia, the reflection focuses on the misunderstandings, as well as on the horizons that contribute to paradigm shifts.
