EL PENSADOR: EL EGOCENTRISMO POLÍTICO

When a common citizen pronounces the word «ego» -or, in his case, «egocentrism»- he relies on the meanings of the dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language, without knowing, perhaps, that it has taken the trouble to simplify some aspects: For example, in the most common case, ego is the «exaggerated exaltation of one’s own personality, to the point of considering it as the center of general attention and activity.» Continúa leyendo EL PENSADOR: EL EGOCENTRISMO POLÍTICO
