Carlos Alberto Sánchez and Francisco Gallegos situate Portilla's \u003ci\u003eotros ensayos\u003c\/i\u003e-a series of essays originally published with his more widely known \u003ci\u003eFenomenología del relajo\u003c\/i\u003e-at the center of the contemporary debates on the politics of social and cultural identity, the nature of community, and the political role of affect and moods. Sánchez and Gallegos address questions as timely today as they were for Portilla: What drives the impulse toward political nationalism? What sustains the myths that organize our political lives? Under what conditions do communities disintegrate? To answer these questions, the authors seek to think \u003ci\u003ewith\u003c\/i\u003e Portilla by analyzing his writing and to think \u003ci\u003eafter\u003c\/i\u003e Portilla by bringing his critical spirit to bear on the present. An appendix with original English translations of Portilla's three \u003ci\u003eotros ensayos\u003c\/i\u003e enables the reader to do the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarlos Alberto Sánchez \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Philosophy at San Jose State University and the author of \u003ci\u003eContingency and Commitment: Mexican Existentialism and the Place of Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Suspension of Seriousness: On the Phenomenology of Jorge Portilla, With a Translation of\u003c\/i\u003e Fenomenología del relajo, both also published by SUNY Press. \u003cb\u003eFrancisco Gallegos \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wake Forest University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 225\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51823076147488,"sku":"9781438480107","price":63.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a8649ea3bd7789b3853d5051c62d458b.webp?v=1781187001","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-disintegration-of-community-on-jorge-portillas-social-and-political-philosophy-with-translations-of-selected-essays-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
