Conservazione, reazione e tradizione. Una riflessione sull'opera de Nicolás Gómez Dávila

Abstract

La dialéctica clásica ante fenómenos parecidos destaca los rasgos diferenciales; mientras que presenta las semejanzas en aquellos que parecen diferentes. Este texto busca aclarar las diferencias, sin esconder las semejanzas, entre el reaccionario, el conservador y el tradicionalista, usando para ello un conjunto de texto del escritor colombiano Nicolás Gómez Dávila.

The classical dialectic between two similar phenomena highlights the elements of difference; while among others that appear to be different, it emphasizes what unites them. In addition, starting from some elements found in the complex and singular work of the colombian writer Nicolás Gómez Dávila, we understand very easily how this clarification effort about reaction, conservations and tradition tries to profile in the best way his intellectual characterization.
