The Migrant Who Became a Philosopher - Leonel Enrique Barrios Suárez - Bog

He was limited in terms of work, politics and geography; his back was lacerated by the pellets that pierced his skin in that demonstration. And his freedom was unrecognisable. Crossing the border opened up a path of infinite horizons in which he could only glimpse risk and uncertainty. His only security was to doubt everything. Abraham is the migrant who became a philosopher because he understood that one only knows what philosophy is when one begins to philosophise. And so, his way of doing philosophy will be to analyse his life experiences from the thought of the philosophers, from Socrates, Thomas Aquinas, Nietzsche to Blondel. In addition to the Academy, he needed to go to the mountains and the existential wilderness to experience the ordeal of solitude. As well as a will to power guided by a will to meaning, which led him to the decision to open himself to the transcendent. Philosophy made him think about his migratory experience and reread his life as a journey through his own thought. And it is Rodrigo, Abraham's friend, who tells us this story.
