Philosophical Thought and Analysis

Manuel Sacristan Luzon (1925-1985) was a logician, epistemologist and unorthodox philosopher -PSUC-PCE militant during many years- who had an essential role in the reintroduction of the Marxist-communist tradition in our country at the end of the fifties. He proposed, during the last years of his life, a strong revision of the communist ideology after May 68 and the annihilation of the Prague Spring. He also concentrated on the irruption of environmentalism. His proposals for a politics of science oriented in a socialist way, and close to the technoscientific tradition which is not blind but which is critical of the new romantic conceptions inspired in the work of Heidegger –about whose gnoseology he wrote his doctoral thesis- are still proof of the lucidity and penetration of his thought. He always fought for an (emancipatory) passion that is anchored in reason and in scientific information, in the commitment towards the most disadvantaged groups in the Earth, and in the practice of a creative and humanist philosophy.
