Paradigmario Filosófico: Rostros y Rastros Emblemáticos

Abstract

COVER OF MY VIRTUAL BOOK “PHILOSOPHICAL PARADIGMARY: 45 EMBLEMATIC FACES AND TRACES” (2022), BY MY SON DANIEL BORDAMALO MEDINA, GRAPHIC DESIGNER: The 'Owl of Minerva' is the emblem of Philosophy for remaining sleepless and in this case with wings deployed in flight and combative attitude of survival, with clairvoyant eyes... Against the background of the Lit Torch of Diogenes of Sinope (413 - 327 BC, perversely labeled and stigmatized 'the cynic'), an eloquent symbol of Parrhesia when he sought an authentic Man in high noon... And with a black background of night, in which we have always lived waiting for an uncertain Alborada, whose scoop only comes from paradigmatic Men (here 45 Capital Men and Women) of all times and latitudes, and who allow us to glimpse in their Parrhesiastic Faces and Traces I am extremely happy and beyond narrow academic molds that suffocate the spirit, to give birth to this postdoctoral text that constitutes my own harvest as a philosopher's apprentice. Indeed, it is a list of Paradigms or referential models that have marked out as milestones my insatiable search for Truth during my sixty-year-old life. It is a list of 44 Witnesses and Teachers (men and women) from all times and latitudes -more than philosophers or conventional and hackneyed thinkers- in my modest way of seeing the most representative schools and critical currents rather than ' isms' as biased as pigeonholers.
