«Caos y orden» is the essay by Antonio Escohotado, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (425 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the question of whether chaos is the opposite of order, it builds bridges between the sciences and the humanities to show how technical and civilisational development has opened new ways of understanding the world against a tradition sustained by eternal laws; spontaneity appears as an inevitable and also beneficial chaotic process.
The work belongs to the Forum Espasa collection and was awarded the Espasa Prize for Essay in 1999.
A work of interest for philosophy readers and for followers of Antonio Escohotado's work.
Antonio Escohotado Espinosa, commonly called Antonio Escohotado, was a Spanish philosopher, jurist, essayist and university professor. His life's work primarily focused on law, philosophy and sociology, yet extended to many other disciplines. Escohotado gained public renown for his research on drugs and for his well-known anti-prohibitionist positions. One of his best known works is The General History of Drugs. The leitmotif of his work is, in the same way, an affirmation of freedom as an antidote to fear or the constraints that push the human being towards all kinds of servitude. His thought fits into the framework of libertarian liberalism.
