Abstract


I reconstruct several deeply rooted deceptions by taking Villoro’s reflections as a starting point: i.e., the alternative consensus/ dissent; the nationalist enthusiasm or the understanding of habits and costumes as «the last word»; a non-reasonable concept of reason. With respect to the latter I make use of some observations owed to Muguerza to further develop the discussion.
