«Tantos tontos tópicos» is the philosophy essay by Aurelio Arteta, published by Editorial Ariel in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay, Aurelio Arteta analyses the clichés of daily conversation: «eso es muy relativo», «no es nada personal», «todos queremos la paz». He shows that these filler phrases are not neutral: they reveal shared prejudices, excuse irresponsibility and feed a comfortable discourse about violence, democracy or duty.
Published in 2012. Aurelio Arteta is a professor of moral and political philosophy at the University of the Basque Country.
For readers of philosophy and critical essays who want to review the commonplaces of public debate.
