«La tarea del héroe» is the philosophical essay by Fernando Savater, published by Destino in paperback (387 pages, in Spanish).
Fernando Savater proposes an ethics that understands the human being as an active being and analyses the figure of the hero through myths. The essay argues that democracy is a limit ideal of social organisation and that ethical maturity is not fulfilled in the law of the State. The book seeks to awaken two rebellions, against order and against disorder.
Subtitled Elementos para una ética trágica, this work won the National Essay Prize in 1982.
