Political and historical essay
Las sociedades que aprenden
Historia política de la corrección y del derecho a rectificar
Unpublished · Spanish-language original
What does a society need in order to recognise that it has been wrong? A political history of dissent, warnings and the institutions that make revision possible.
Knowing that something is wrong does not ensure that a decision will change. Through historical episodes and public questions, this book examines how a warning gets heard, who can demand evidence, and which institutions preserve a second chance.
It connects the right to dissent with the division of power, the organisation of review and the education of those who may one day challenge us. Its central question is political: how to keep a future open to revision.
Themes
- The right to object
- Institutions and the capacity for revision
- Power, time and changing course
Editorial focus
