En La flauta mágica (1791) la noche es tiniebla, irracionalidad, mujer, en oposición al día, que es luz, racionalidad, varón. La razón es revolucionaria, pero su fuerza le viene de una noche que aún no entiende, porque viene del futuro.
El decorado de Schinkel (1816) para la gran escena de la Reina de la Noche reconoce esa fuerza. El Idealismo alemán trata de entenderla. Monarquías e imperios se tambalean, la guerra cubre Europa, religión,...

Science is about the mundane, visible world. Religion is about the transcendent, invisible world. Atheists believe that science is the only way to explain the world. Agnostics think it's the best way. But is science actually a system of explanation at all, or merely a good problem-solving tool and method that achieves practical success in the observable world? Isn't science, like God, in need of an explanation? What is its ontological and epistemological...

The German philosopher Hegel is one of the most notoriously obscure philosophers of all time. Was he a secret member of the Illuminati? Did he seek to replace Christianity with Illumination - the Illuminati's religion? Was he guided by Hermetic, Gnostic and esoteric thinking? Was he a modern magician and sage, bringing...

Magic illusions are all about misdirection: making sure that the audience is looking away from what's really going on. For humanity, both religious faith and scientific materialism misdirect us away from truth and reality. Magicians claim to pull rabbits out of empty hats. The God of Abraham pulls a whole universe out of nothing whatsoever, while scientific materialism performs the greatest magic trick of all by abolishing God and pulling the entirety...

Siguiendo a Norberto Bobbio, aristotelismo e iusnaturalismo moderno serían los discursos políticos hegemónicos que antecedieron a Hegel , si bien es cierto que ya David Hume y Adam Smith habían aterrizado la reflexión política de lleno en el terreno histórico y social de la acción humana, y en lo concreto de la dinámica económica capitalista...

The first half describes the moral theory that Gentile explicitly identifies with actual idealism, according to which all thinking, rather than an exclusive domain of 'practical reason', has a moral character. It is argued that after Gentile's turn to Fascism in the early 1920s, this theory is increasingly conflated with his political...
