Nicolás Guigou

academic

Nicolás Guigou is a Social Anthropology doctor and academic known for his research on the intersection of religion and societal dynamics. His insights emphasize the global trend of secularization, particularly in Latin America, where higher education levels correlate with decreased religiosity. Guigou argues that social sciences often seek rational explanations for societal behaviors, contrasting with spiritual justifications. His work sheds light on the complexities of belief systems in contemporary societies, particularly in Uruguay, where traditional religious affiliations are declining, yet alternative spiritual practices are on the rise.
