Ignacio Castro Rey

Ignacio Castro Rey is PhD in Philosophy from the UAM and professor at a Secondary Education Institute in Madrid. Influenced by the heterodoxy of Western thought, it has been deploying philosophical work in a double direction for years. On the one hand, on the verge of what we could consider our enlightened tolerance, the affirmation of an immediate absolute sensitive, ethical and aesthetic at the same time, of difficult and venerable conceptual expression. On the other, a critique of contemporary power, with its new forms of aversion to real otherness. In both articulations, from Weil to Lispector, from Handke to Sokurov, Ignacio Castro rescues the conceptual power of very diverse current creators. In addition to signing numerous articles in different media and collective volumes, Ignacio Castro is a frequent guest thinker in various institutions and universities, both national and foreign. He is the author, among others, of the following books: Society and barbarism (Barcelona, ​​2012), The information depression (Buenos Aires, 2011), Votes of wealth (Madrid, 2007), Sexuality and its shadow (Buenos Aires, 2004) , Critique of sexual reason (Barcelona, ​​2002) and The exploitation of bodies (Madrid, 2002).
