Abstract
Esta tesis ofrece un estudio crítico de autenticidad, prospectiva y complejidad, sobre la mitopoiésis estadounidense, su legado idiosincrásico, y el pensamiento que ha sustentado su reformulación periódica. Se trata de una historia-filosófica acerca de la configuración y devenir identitario estadounidense, mediante el hilo conector y metámero social que es la religión(lato sensu: religión tradicional, civil y política o ideológica). Ello permite el interrogarse por: qué es el ser estadounidense y cómo se materializa, con qué se relaciona y vincula para su realización, cómo interactúa con los demás y cuál es su sentido y alcance de lo trascendente y sagrado. Para ello, se revisan sus principales ontologías, epistemologías y axiologías autóctonas (aquellas filtradas por su estadounidización o Americaness), ubicándolas según sus ciclos religiosos de despertares sociales y revitalizaciones de elites: desde el platonismo agustinismo del reformismo y providencialismo de sus peregrinos y puritanos;el aristotelismo-tomismo del evangelismo y espiritualidad de sus colonos; el libre-pensamiento y masonería de la religiosidad civil y el trascendentalismo de sus ilustrados; la metafísica de la autodeterminación de sus pragmáticos y excepcionalistas; hasta la deconstrucción vía velos posmodernos de confusión de los Estudios culturales sobrevenidos (nutridos por la fuga de cerebros tras las guerras del s. XX)...
This PhD dissertation offers a critical study of authenticity, prospective and complexity, about the American mythopoiesis, its idiosyncratic heritage, and the thought that has sustained its periodic reformulation. This is a philosophical History of American identity configuration and development, by religion (latosense: traditional religion, civil religion and polical or ideological religion), as a connecting thread and social methamer. By this way, the inquiry into the American identity is possible: what is the American being and how does it materialize? What does it relate and link to its realization? How does it interact with others and what is its meaning and scope of the transcendent and sacred? In that sense, it reviews the main native ontologies, epistemologies and axiologies (those filtered by its Americaness), and it places them according to their religious cycles of social awakenings and revitalizations of elites: from the Platonism-Augustinism of the reformism and providentialism of its pilgrims and puritans; the Aristotelianism-Thomism of the evangelism and spirituality of its colonists; the free-thought and Freemasonry of civil religiosity and the transcendentalism of its enlightened; the metaphysics of self-determination of its pragmatists and exceptionalists; until the deconstruction via postmodern veils of confusion of the cultural studies that have taken place (nourished by the brain drain after the wars of the 20th century)...
