Nicolás Gómez Dávila

    May 18, 1913 – May 17, 1994

    Nicolás Gómez Dávila was a Colombian writer and thinker, recognized as one of the most intransigent political theorists of the twentieth century. His work, composed almost entirely of aphorisms he termed 'escolios,' offers a radical critique of modernity. His fame grew significantly in the final years before his death, largely through German translations. His distinctive aphoristic style and profound insights continue to engage readers.
