Abstract
Gracias a las contribuciones de especialistas con diferentes formaciones y trayectorias, este volumen intenta fomentar unas cuantas incursiones en las fronteras que los supuestos de la Ilustración han conseguido cimentar en los proyectos levantados por la cultura jurídica occidental de los últimos tres siglos. Con una perspectiva diacrónica y transatlántica los autores se confrontan con las dinámicas donde la frontera se torcía en perímetro y se hacía límite, capaz de estabilizar y absorber las tensiones estructurales de la sociedad, para luego abrirse o quebrarse, cuando la ilusión de haber alcanzado el edificio perfecto chocaba con el descubrimiento de grietas estructurales. De allí que en estos momentos se reactivase una reflexión sobre los cimientos que habían puesto voluntad e individuo como elementos inexcusables (que no significa exclusivos) de la declinación de lo político y de lo jurídico de un Occidente que llega a hacer, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, del hombre-ciudadano y de sus derechos los parámetros de la humanidad, alcanzado la frontera donde todavía hoy se está moviendo la reflexión y la praxis del poder.
Thanks to the specialist’s contributions with different backgrounds and trajectories, this volume attempts to encourage a few forays into the frontiers of Enlightenment assumptions. These assumptions have managed to cement in the projects raised by Western legal culture over the last three centuries. With a diachronic and transatlantic perspective, the contributors confront the dynamics where the border became a perimeter and a limit. Border conceives capable of stabilising and absorbing society’s structural tensions, only to open up or break, when the illusion of having reached the perfect building collided with the discovery of structural cracks. Hence, at this time, it rised a reflection on the foundations that had made the will and the individual the inexcusable (which does not mean exclusive) elements of the decline of the political and legal aspects of the Western culture. In the second half of the 20th century, this ‘West’ came to make man-citizen and his rights the parameters of the humanity, reaching the frontier where the reflection and praxis of power are still moving today.
