Antes de perder el juicio : Una apuesta por la razón en medio del delirio

In times when truth seems to be diluted by propaganda, sectarian slogans, and echo chambers, this book stands out as a rare exercise in lucidity. With a critical yet serene gaze, the author delves into some of the most persistent ills of our time: the erosion of consensus, the excess of emotion that clouds reason, and the hedonistic subjectivity that disengages from public affairs. Embarking on an essayistic journey that is both erudite and accessible, Mauricio García Villegas explores the intellectual roots of our era, from the emancipatory promise of the Enlightenment to the Romantic reaction that still shapes our cultural sensibility today. Far from offering a simple pessimistic diagnosis, the author proposes something more ambitious: to recover the value of rationality, restore trust in truth and science, and reclaim a form of common sense that is increasingly lacking in contemporary debate. In line with his previous essays, this work not only provides keys to understanding the present, but also to subverting the exaltation and noise that feed the current malaise.
