The vertical invasion of barbarism by Mário Ferreira dos Santos

Authors

Abstract

Review of the book "Invasão Vertical dos Bárbaros" addresses philosophical and cultural issues that have been relevant since the beginning of the 20th century. The book emphasises the importance of recognising, valuing and pointing out the complexity of human nature, highlighting that man is a unique being because of his ability to choose between good and evil. The book also criticises contemporary trends that overvalue purely material aspects, sensitivity, intuition and strength to the detriment of reason, justice and law. It also addresses simplistic thinking, naïve scientism and other philosophical currents that threaten the integrity of culture and human understanding.
