摘要：Int his essay the Colombian philosopher Nicolás Gómez Dávila (1913-1994) is submitted as a thinker in Spanish, until recently almost unknown in his homeland and somewhat better known in Germany and Italy. Featured by their Escolios as brillant thinker, disrespectful and forceful, he describe himself as “reactionary authentic”: with this, he didn’t committed with restoration proyects, but rather with a scating critique to modernity and especially to democracy, critique to modernity and specially to democracy, critique based, partly, on its insobornable faith fulness to the tradition of the Catholic Church, against wich also assumed the reactionary attitude, nourished in his vast and deep knowledge of the tradition of the west since the Greeks. This essay seeks, with the help of phenomenology, to clarity the real meaning of the attitude, and make, in contrast with the thinking of Gómez Dávila, some elements that help us to understand the direction taken at the outset by the so called Latin American Philosophy in Colombia as imperative to think our reality in Spanish.
