“TODO ESTÁ PERMITIDO” (Karamazov, Sartre, el posmodernismo y el hombre encerrado en sí mismo)

In the drift of our culture towards what Norbert Elias called “homo clausus”, a man closed in on himself, and that Ronald Laing and other psychiatrists characterized as “schizoid man”, a decisive turning point occurred in which Dostoevsky converged with his novel “The Brothers Karamazov” and Nietzsche with his famous aphorism “God is dead.” The trail of these cultural elements continues with Sartre and existentialism, has reached today and continues with postmodernism and what Vargas Llosa calls “the civilization of the spectacle.” In the middle, we analyze Romanticism as a clear exponent of this entire cultural trajectory that has led to the fact that the external world has come to be treated as a branch of our internal world, so that the vital slogan that has finally been imposed is that “everything is allowed” or “anything goes.” Disdaining the intrinsic condition of the world, of the surrounding, of being difficulty and limit, vital tension, by not considering that resistance of the environment, declines. The psychological consequences are, to begin with, spiritual emptiness and boredom. __________________________________________ This is a channel for the dissemination of philosophy (and its surroundings), especially that of Ortega y Gasset, until today the most important thinker in the Spanish language that has existed.
