Mito & contracultura
Abstract
Considered irrational since its beginning, the criticism of counterculture has shown itself incapable of perceiving the cognitive revolution that was produced by different practices of spirituality. Substituting the rationalist logic of exclusion for the logic of inclusion, in which the elements are equivalent, the countercultural movement rescued the mythical experience, which helps man search for the source of his own life and is part of the process of formation of the self, giving it a new significance. A new type of perception and thinking thus emerges.
