EL HOMBRE: PROPÓSITO Y DIRECCIÓN DE LA HISTORIA

Abstract

Man has long been regarded as a measure of evolution. The ‘humanization’ of man has become a criterion of
civilization. Economic growth has gradually become the only engine of development and, nowadays, of
democracy. When speaking of evolution we continue to claim that it is ‘in the name of man’, yet in practice
everything is done in the name of wealth and profit; but humanity’s successive failed attempt, socialism, does
not mean that we should uncritically throw ourselves into the opposite extreme. Humanity should be able to
invent, choose and achieve the best variant of its own development.
