«Elogio de la locura» is the satirical essay by Erasmus of Rotterdam, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (197 pages, in Spanish).
Folly takes the floor and praises herself in a lengthy ironic discourse that surveys the customs and beliefs of the sixteenth century. Erasmus uses this praise to satirize human vanity, superstition, abuses of power, and ecclesiastical hierarchies, combining humor and critical sharpness in a reflection on morality and faith.
This edition belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo - Filosofía collection. It includes Erasmus's letter to Martin Dorp (1515) on the meaning of the work. Translation by Pedro Rodríguez Santidrián.
Recommended for philosophy students and readers interested in Renaissance humanism and social criticism.
