Subjects: NATIONALISM, POPULISM, IDEOLOGY, SOCIAL norms, RIGHT-wing populism, WESTERN civilization
Abstract (English): The text analyzes the book *The Return of the Strong Gods: Nationalism, Populism, and the Future of the West* by Russell Ronald Reno, which examines the crisis of the postwar liberal order and the rise of populism as a reaction against the dominant intellectual consensus since 1945. Reno argues that the decline of the "strong gods"—understood as objects of collective love such as truth, homeland, and family—has led to a society that favors weak loves and truths, threatening the Western tradition. The author links this phenomenon to the emergence of populist leaders who reject postwar liberalism, exemplified by the figure of Donald Trump, and proposes recovering authentic values such as national sovereignty and honor. However, the analysis also points out criticisms of the book, such as the lack of a clear definition of the "postwar consensus" and the confusion between liberalism and secularism, which could lead to erroneous conclusions about the cultural causes of Western decline.

Abstract (Spanish): El texto analiza el libro "El retorno de los dioses fuertes. Nacionalismo, populismo y el futuro de Occidente" de Russell Ronald Reno, que examina la crisis del orden liberal de posguerra y el auge del populismo como una reacción contra el consenso intelectual dominante desde 1945. Reno sostiene que la decadencia de los "dioses fuertes" —entendidos como objetos de amor colectivo como la verdad, la patria y la familia— ha llevado a una sociedad que privilegia amores y verdades débiles, lo que amenaza la tradición occidental. El autor vincula este fenómeno con el surgimiento de líderes populistas que rechazan el liberalismo posguerra, ejemplificado en la figura de Donald Trump, y propone recuperar valores auténticos como la soberanía nacional y el honor. Sin embargo, el análisis también señala críticas al libro, como la falta de definición clara del "consenso de posguerra" y la confusión entre liberalismo y secularismo, lo que podría llevar a conclusiones erróneas sobre las causas culturales del declive occidental.
