Este ensayo se divide en dos partes: la primera parte tratará de analizar la actitud crítica que el autor franco-libanés Amin Maalouf desarrolla en su obra y, concretamente, a partir de su novela El primer siglo después de Béatrice. Para ello debemos remontarnos al siglo de las luces, la Ilustración, pasar por las sombras del romanticismo y llegar finalmente a la crisis que el siglo XX nos trae y que aún hoy arrastramos a nuestras espaldas. La segunda parte, por el contrario, se propone presentar las soluciones que Maalouf expone y que se encuentran dentro del pensamiento filosófico “ilustrado” de autores como Habermas, Bauman, Foucault, Dainotto, entre otros.
This paper is divided into two main parts: the first of these will analyze the critical attitude that the Lebanese author Amin Maalouf develops in his work, but concretely speaking, from his novel The first century after Beatrice and onwards. For that we must turn back to the Century of Reason, the Enlightenment, walk through the shadows of Romanticism, and finally arrive at the crisis that the 20th Century brought forth and that is still a challenge to overcome in present times. The second part, on the other hand, presents the author’s proposed solutions to this problematic, the same which can be found within the philosophical framework of famous postmodern thinkers such as Habermas, Bauman, Foucault, and Dainotto, amongst others.
