 Majfud 2002
Jorge Majfud que recrea la pesadilla de un preso de conciencia sometido a la insular angustia de la reclusión, es esta semana el libro que convoca nuestra mayor atención.
Majfud enumera una serie de logros de las sociedades actuales como la Declaración de los Derechos Humanos, la “reconquista” de la democracia, sobre todo en latinoamérica, pero advirtió que “todo eso son logros del individuo y de las sociedades pero nada nos garantiza que los terminemos perdiendo, por nuestros propios defectos, no por defectos ajenos”.
Majfud aboga por la práctica de la reflexión introspectiva en clave autocrítica para llegar a solidificar un compromiso moral estable.

In the 17th century, Blaise Pascal, a genius of mathematics, wrote that men never do evil with greater pleasure than when they do it with religious conviction.
