Gregorio Luri

Before Christmas, we went to "Jornada de Filosofia de l'Alt Empordà" in Figueres. There we met with other 2nd Batxillerat students. We talked and discussed about a basic topic in the modern philosophy: the progress.
First of all, all the students were divided in nine groups. This groups had to discuss about that topic and then, in the auditorium explain the conclusions. After that, a student from each school did a speech about the progress. In INS Castelló's case, the student was Adrián Santeliz. To finish the philosophical day, Gregorio Luri, a philosopher, did a long speech about the origins of the process idea.
Luri, whose thesis at university was about Greece philosophy, said that classical people didn't think as us the progress. It wasn't until Middle Age when people began to think the progress as a line. This thought was more powerful with French Revolution and Liberalism (XVIII century). Now, after two world wars, the progress is in crisis: is it true that humanity always improve?
Luri also commented our debates. He said that we are the real young people and he criticized the media because they only talk about "nini" young people.
I have to say that Luri's confidence was a bit boring because he was talking about the same topic about two hours. Although, I think it was a nice experience to listen a real philosopher.
