A multifaceted man, a new man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He was the founder and director of Presencia<\/em>, an emblematic newspaper. He studied Philosophy and Law and inspired hundreds to teach in these areas. His book on Criminology is a fundamental guide on this subject. He presided over a distinguished Electoral Court, recognized for defending institutionalism. Catholic, humanist, defender of human rights, father, who acted as mother, grandfather. A lover of life, knowledge, and Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt that Hu\u00e1scar Caj\u00edas Kauffmann was a multifaceted man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the same reason, the book that commemorates his centenary bears that name. This Tuesday 30, the publication was presented at the Bolivian Catholic University \u201cSan Pablo\u201d (La Paz headquarters), thanks to the efforts of this house of studies and its Department of Social Communication. In the text, presentations and reflections of the protagonist are presented, accompanied by memories of those who shared his multifaceted life with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the writing, it can be recognized that, in addition to being multifaceted, Caj\u00edas Kauffmann was a clear representation of the \u201cnew man.\u201d That ideal of better beings committed to the Common Good, the defense of human values, the search for truth and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cnew man\u201d has been conceptualized from different perspectives. But as D. Negro (2008) indicates, this concept is associated with the twentieth century, when \u201cit was proposed to improve, through illustration and scientific knowledge, living conditions, but with an eye toward creating a better man, a new man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a complex task to define what is \u201cbest\u201d in a human being. However, the shared memory of Hu\u00e1scar as a man with a horizontal gaze, whatever his interlocutor and in all kinds of settings, is an undeniable guideline to be better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respect for the other and the search for the Common Good was the practice of Caj\u00edas in his daily, personal, and work life. In the book presented, Harold Olmos recalls that the notes from the Director of Presencia<\/em> were \u201ca reflection of his commitment to a less selfish and more caring world.\u201d Likewise, Armando Mariaca concludes his memory of Hu\u00e1scar as the one who \u201cwas an example in everything to live well, serve better and act for the good of all without any reluctance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To live well, serve, and act. An illustrative synthesis of the life of Caj\u00edas Kauffmann. His commitment to the Common Good led him to be a servant of society, through a recognized \u201cappreciation of justice, dignity, and law,\u201d as indicated by Alejandro Colanzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the book, Hu\u00e1scar is remembered for his work ethic and his character as a \u201cpublic servant.\u201d A concept that seems forgotten. But the biography of this universal Santa Cruz character reminds us to vindicate him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More so, because his story recalls another virtue of the \u201cnew man\u201d: the defense of human values and rights. Caj\u00edas\u2019 reading of the biblical passage \u201cThe Beatitudes\u201d to strikers for democracy, in 1978, is a postcard in the national history of human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a moment of great emotion, of great strength because he read it convinced, as a Catholic that he was, and the group listened. They say that even the agents were moved to see the scene and the strikers [were] so weakened but firm. They also said that Caj\u00edas did not let them mistreat or denigrate them, \u2018they are under my protection,\u2019 he said,\u201d wrote Amparo Carvajal in her chapter of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it is worth highlighting Hu\u00e1scar\u2019s commitment to truth and freedom, in each of his functions. In the book presented, this principle is particularly translated in one of his texts: \u201cThe truth will set us free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all of the above, and for other reasons that readers will find in Hu\u00e1scar Caj\u00edas Kauffmann\u2019s book, he is the semblance of a \u201cnew man.\u201d Not only because of the many recognized virtues but because all of them aimed to be a \u201cbetter man.\u201d Inspiration for so many beings who knew him. Final guideline of one of his texts…\u201d At the end of the day, everything elevated is achieved by arduous roads. The easy is the refuge of those who do not want to be what they should be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you so much, grandpa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
