This book analyzes the denied culture that is expressed in our narrative of upholding the hegemonic system we live under, a system that stings with its constant force in our daily lives. The denied culture is a myth that is not acknowledged, that surfaces and insists on our very condition of existence. Life is not for death, as a Western philosophical current suggests, but rather life is to be lived to the fullest; not life as a shedding of permanent losses, but as a communal vitality of the species. The denied culture is embracing life in its entirety, where the solid arguments of each era render invisible the absolute nature of action and the confluence of contradictions that exacerbate a hegemonic way of life in order to distance itself from the fear of the finiteness of existence, to take refuge only in the commodification of life.

The book is divided into two parts: the first focuses on conceptual development, and the second on the application of the method to reality. The first part has two fundamental axes:

1. The constitutive myth that we do not acknowledge and that we deny. The sense of an alienated existence based on rigid, binary arguments that fragment the totality of life.

2. The method of complementary totality as an instrument of inquiry and social research.
