 In El poder y el valor, Villoro reflects on the nature of political power and moral values. After a comprehensive and insightful analysis, Villoro sustains that we should give priority to the values that bind individuals to their community, without, of course, undermining either individual freedom or social order. Ultimately, Villoro defends a form of radical democracy according to which political power is concentrated in the hands of ordinary people immersed in concrete social networks. Villoro believed that indigenous communities of Mexico are a living model of the variety of social and political egalitarianism he endorsed, and any intellectual biography of Villoro would be incomplete without mentioning that Villoro was a secret member of The Zapatista Army of National Liberation, and had a philosophically rich correspondence with Subcomandante Marcos.
