La primera filosofía moderna

This volume firmly describes the history of the ideas of the forerunners of Modernity and their struggle against their persecutors. This contest is not yet over and we are his heirs.After a detailed history of the ideas of the Renaissance, this book distills another hidden book of political intervention, in which the reader will find an intellectual ally against the current powers of reaction, servility, dogmatism and totalitarianism.The image that our epoch creates about the Renaissance is very important to define the future that we want to build. Precisely for this reason, those intellectual and religious currents inheriting from Scholasticism are very interested in transmitting and imposing a residual idea of ??the Renaissance.Faced with this, Herrera's book clearly defines what Modernity owes to the true precursor (the humanist and the Renaissance philosopher) and what Modernity owes (if it owes something positive) to the persecutor (the scholastic and its temporal powers). The persecutor was never the forerunner of Modernity in terms of enlightenment, freedom, anti-dogmatism, and cosmopolitanism.
