From his Telegram user, the Minister of Popular Power for Communication and Information, Miguel Ánel Pérez Pirela regretted the physical departure of the philosopher Jürgen Habermas.
“The departure of Jürgen Habermas places us before the work of one of the giants of contemporary thought. A philosopher who dedicated his existence to defending the liberating power of the word and shared reason,” he said.
He added that “those of us who had the immense pleasure of listening to him at one of his conferences at the Grand Amphitheater of the Sorbonne in Paris, cherished forever the memory of that moment when philosophy became a living voice, an embodied word. There, in front of an audience suspended in attention, Habermas not only presented ideas: he reminded us that thinking is also an act of generosity, building bridges to the other. His death challenges us to continue the conversation that he began with such clarity, to ask ourselves how to widen the bridges of communication so that no one is excluded from human dialogue, and to keep alive the flame of a reason that does not dominate but liberates”.
