Elogio de la locura
Elogio de la locura | Erasmo de Rotterdam
10 posts | 18 read | 10 to read
Rerse de todo es propio de tontos, pero no rerse de nada lo es de estpidos. Erasmo de Rotterdam Publicado originalmente en 1511, este texto satrico de corte filosfico escandaliz a una poca y contribuy al surgimiento de la reforma protestante. En la obra, la locura toma la palabra y elogia la ceguera y la imbecilidad de los hombres, quienes se dejan manipular por los poderosos y aceptan como ciertas las supersticiones. Estamos ante una crtica feroz a la Iglesia catlica y a los excesos del papado, y un cuestionamiento del poder y el falso conocimiento de los gramticos, filsofos y telogos. En tono irnico, estas pginas explican por qu la locura tiene mayores ventajas que la racionalidad y afirma que los hombres son ms felices cuando se encuentran bajo el dominio de la necedad.

My favorite piece ever. Finally got my own printed copy. Not the most eye friendly script, but this one‘s gonna be heavily marker highlighted anyway.

For anyone who loves intensely lives not in himself but in the object of his love, and the further he can move out of himself into his love, the happier he is.

...it is a sneaking piece of cowardice for authors to put feigned names to their works, as if, like bastards of their brain, they were afraid to own them.

The chief element of happiness is this: to want to be what you are.
