Abstract
This text describes the tragic figure of Salvador Allende from the question of the present. The analysis seeks to show the relationship between the leader of Unidad Popular and a certain exhaustion of socialist modernity as a civilizing program. The decline of modernity, however, would find resistance in Allende's ethical act and the aura of his political ghost whose residual agency presents itself as a difficult problem for traditional politics.
