Critique of Pure Passion: An Excavation into Gaia's Inhabitants and Their Delusions Concerning the Truth - Paperback

by Jorge Majfud (Author)

Critique of Pure Passion was largely written in Mozambique in 1997 and first published the following year in Uruguay. It is composed of 358 compacts, each of which is a unit in itself. However, this collection of essays revolves around a few basic themes: the formation of ethics and morals based on the fears and anxieties that persist throughout history-renouncement; the ways of understanding and representing the world, life and death, history and the present; humanistic evolution; and the reactions of traditional powers.
According to newspaper La República of Montevideo, Uruguay, "In this new work, Majfud confirms his undoubted vocation for philosophizing in times of indifference and emptiness, challenging the reader to meditate on their destiny and its surely most shocking uncertainties."
