In 'Retrato del Libertino', Antonio Escohotado explores various themes that converge in a profound reflection on the human condition. The author reviews ways of understanding carnal love, expands a recent conference with reflections on joy and sadness, and analyzes the relationships between ethics and medicine. In addition, he addresses drunkenness as an experience of the world and euthanasia as a universal right. Chapters six and seven present interviews with two healthy old men, offering a unique perspective on life and freedom.
Antonio Escohotado Espinosa, commonly called Antonio Escohotado, was a Spanish philosopher, jurist, essayist and university professor. His life's work primarily focused on law, philosophy and sociology, yet extended to many other disciplines. Escohotado gained public renown for his research on drugs and for his well-known anti-prohibitionist positions. One of his best known works is The General History of Drugs. The leitmotif of his work is, in the same way, an affirmation of freedom as an antidote to fear or the constraints that push the human being towards all kinds of servitude. His thought fits into the framework of libertarian liberalism.
