Extract

In 1950, the Venezuelan Professor Mariano Picón Salas directed a historical seminar in the College of Mexico, concentrated on one region which he called Latin America. Subsequently, in response to comments from Brazilian collaborators, the program was broadened so as to aim at a comprehensive view of the histories of all the Ibero-American nations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The purpose was to discover whether there were not periods with comparable characteristics in the histories of the various countries.

Cette formule elliptique signifie simplement ceci: la philosophie se réduit a la connaissance de l'esprit et l'esprit ne peut être connu que dans l'histoire, non pas Fhistoire ‘de pensée’ ou des sciences, mais l'histoire vivante, l'histoire tout court; et réciproquement l'histoire ne peut être comprise et pensée que si nous y saisissons - en oeuvre - l'activité de l'esprit”.
