Abstract
l capítulo “El liberalismo y sus aporías”, de Miguel Ayuso, analiza el liberalismo desde una perspectiva crítica, apoyándose en autores del pensamiento tradicional como Juan Vallet de Goytisolo, Rafael Gambra, Francisco Elías de Tejada y Danilo Castellano. El autor parte de la idea de que el liberalismo es un concepto polisémico, con dimensiones filosófica, política, económica y religiosa, pero sostiene que su raíz principal es ideológica: la negación o desconocimiento de un orden natural y trascendente.
A lo largo del capítulo se examinan varias contradicciones internas del liberalismo: su relación con la democracia, su evolución hacia fórmulas socialdemócratas, su posible deriva colectivista y su radicalización contemporánea basada en la autodeterminación individual. También se analiza la tensión entre libertad individual y soberanía popular, especialmente a partir de la Declaración de los Derechos del Hombre y del Ciudadano de 1789.
El texto concluye que las distintas fases históricas del liberalismo conducen a una crisis política y moral, vinculada al nihilismo, y plantea la necesidad de abandonar ese paradigma para recuperar un gobierno ordenado de la sociedad.
The chapter “Liberalism and Its Aporias”, by Miguel Ayuso, analyzes liberalism from a critical perspective, drawing on authors of traditional thought such as Juan Vallet de Goytisolo, Rafael Gambra, Francisco Elías de Tejada, and Danilo Castellano. The author begins with the idea that liberalism is a polysemous concept, with philosophical, political, economic, and religious dimensions, but argues that its main root is ideological: the denial or disregard of a natural and transcendent order. Throughout the chapter, several internal contradictions of liberalism are examined: its relationship with democracy, its evolution toward social-democratic formulas, its possible collectivist drift, and its contemporary radicalization based on individual self-determination. The chapter also analyzes the tension between individual freedom and popular sovereignty, especially in relation to the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The text concludes that the different historical phases of liberalism lead to a political and moral crisis linked to nihilism, and it raises the need to move beyond this paradigm in order to recover an ordered form of government for society.
