El sentido del límite y el proceso de humanización

El pensamiento moderno levantó al hombre por encima de sí mismo, hasta constituirlo en dios. La postmodernidad ha subrayado los límites del hombre —del cuerpo, de la razón, de la libertad— que ponen de manifiesto hasta qué punto la imagen moderna era un espejismo. Ahora bien, constatar que el hombre es limitado, ¿debe llevarnos a despreciar lo humano… o puede ayudarnos a redescubrirlo?
