Sonata humanista

We live in troubled times. And yet, in today's modern and advanced society, idle and comfortable most of the time, there is no protection of ideals, nor is any project of moral progress or sacrifice or work being enhanced. Everything has been assumed by an immense moral relativism, without understanding that what is fair and just is not exactly egalitarian. However and despite everything, life and the human condition are based on the claim of freedoms in a single humanist ideal that is nothing other than a civilization of justice, respect and responsibility. And this was well known by Nietzsche, Zweig and Camus. They were three free spirits who, in modern times -which is not so far from ours- faced the excesses of rationalism from very different conceptions of thought: Stefan Zweig, victim of war and racism; Albert Camus, a brilliant and courageous man who, after facing dictatorships and totalitarianisms, left his life in an unfortunate accident, and Friedrich Nietzsche, who, although he was the most clairvoyant spirit of modernity, who went mad and died in the barbed wire, forgetfulness and absurdity. That is why Mauricio Wiesenthal, as always clairvoyant and rational, delicate humanist and free thinker, with a firm hand and a lucid mind, brings us together the most profound and literary sketches of his three lives in this humanist Sonata, in poetic symbol, in a pentagram of thorns.
