Los cuatro objetivos de la Constitución son imponer el estado de derecho a fin de garantizar las libertades de los ciudadanos, mantener la competitividad inter e intra provincial y municipal, delinear la división del gobierno federal según sus tres departamentos y fomentar la creación de la riqueza para el mejoramiento de las vidas de las generaciones venideras. Los dos principios de la Constitución son el federalismo y la propiedad privada. La interpretación y aplicación de las leyes y los derechos contenidos en este documento deben conformarse a esos dos principios.

Don Jorge, también le debo reportar acerca de los límites políticos de nuestro laberinto. EE. UU. se ha convertido en una locura melancólica tras otra. Ud. y William F. Buckley estarían bastante disgustados. Lo vamos a reparar, y eso gracias al peso demográfico de los hispanos. En cuanto a su querida Argentina, no llore. Creo que ya ha tocado fondo. Hay un economista libertario tipo roquero; me parece una combinación monstruosa de Hayek y uno de los hermanos Ramone. Este hombre, Milei (no digo «mi ley», quien es otra, sino Milei, su apellido todo junto), ha sido como una explosión en una catedral. Espero que el cambio venga de allí.

La novela de Palafox es insólita, futurista, incluso profética. Eso se debe a que fue uno de los primeros europeos en percibir la extraña y a menudo trágica sociología de la extrema similitud demográfica en lo que sigue siendo el lugar más densamente poblado de la Tierra. De ahí su importancia para Jefferson y Tocqueville. El economista y filósofo político francés Guy Sorman, que ha escrito mucho sobre la China moderna (véase El año del gallo, 2006 y El imperio de las mentiras, 2008), insiste en que los chinos no son diferentes de cualquier otra nación. La lectura de Palafox nos obliga a matizar dos veces la afirmación de Sorman. Mejor dicho: Los chinos siempre serán el pueblo más parecido a cualquier otra nación.

Hamlet and Don Juan are beyond any shadow of a doubt the most universally recognized young male characters produced by each culture. Further, at the time they were written, Catholic Spain and Protestant England were tenuously consolidated antagonists in the last overtly religious conflagration of European history. For these reasons, the precision by which these two plays mirror each other merits our attention. They are the most salient dramas of the most militant stage of the clash between the Reformation and the Counterreformation--all while the formation of the first modern nation states was underway.

Less should mean more for most students in high school and college. We need fewer humanists and books, albeit more serious ones. In what's left of the humanities, we should not just "mind" the campus but also "be" the campus.

"Die Hydra der Diktator" (1946) is a famous drawing by Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) finished about a decade before he went blind in 1955. Today Borges rests firmly in the pantheon of classical liberalism. His stories convey a complex, yet also mysteriously ordered vision of the cosmos. Javier Cercas, a leading figure among Spain's current generation of novelists, observed recently that Borges was not as liberal as many would have it. Fair enough. Let's look at his mood at the end of WWII.

Consideremos dos textos que se aprovechan del mismo mito griego y que a la vez son gestos políticos simbólicos en el Occidente moderno por antonomasia. El primero fue articulado por el fundador estadounidense Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804). En dos de sus ensayos para El federalista (1787-88), Hamilton compara a sus rivales políticos con la temible figura mitológica de la hidra (F29 y F80). El segundo caso es del escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). En el manuscrito de su ensayo “Nuestro pobre individualismo” (1946), Borges representó gráficamente el nacionalismo populista a nivel global como si fuese una hidra.

Given that a statue of Miguel de Cervantes was vandalized in the Golden Gate Park of San Francisco during the recent wave of protests against racism, colonialism, and capitalism in the United States, a brief reflection on the significance of slavery in the novelist's masterpiece seems appropriate. Cervantes weaves together so many perspectives on master-slave relationships in _Don Quijote de la Mancha_ (part one, 1605; part two, 1615) that he inevitably drifts toward abstract and speculative thinking about the topic. Even more consistently than a significant minority of thinkers of the School of Salamanca, Cervantes holds that slavery is essentially immoral; but one of his more remarkable insights anticipates Smith's utilitarian critique of slavery as less efficient than labor that is compensated.

Letting literature go with the wind is a mistake for other reasons, too: (1) It’s entertaining. (2) We’re hardwired to understand and remember through stories. (3) It allows us to take the measure of what is universally human. (4) It often emerges from foreign canons to represent for us times, places, and cultures distinct from our own, encouraging us to respect both difference and wisdom. (5) It exposes the complexity of life by plumbing the depths of human folly, cruelty, kindness, and brilliance.

La democracia en América (1835/40) de Alexis de Tocqueville es una epopeya en sí misma y en casi todos los sentidos.

Esta lectura tiene antecedentes arcaicos.

Within liberal arts, the subfield of Hispanic literature is among the more unassailable strongholds of academic leftism. In the combative, but dialogically respectful, spirit of Ludwig von Mises, I suggest ways to respond to Marxist theory when thinking about Jorge Luis Borges and Miguel de Cervantes, two of the greatest creative writers in the Spanish language, as well as Juan de Mariana, arguably Spain’s greatest historian. I offer a basic analogy: Mises’s critique of early twentieth-century detective fiction helps us understand Borges’s “Death and the Compass”; likewise, Juan de Mariana’s criticisms of the Spanish Habsburgs help us understand Cervantes’s Don Quijote de la Mancha. I also attempt to explain why so much Western literature self-consciously focuses on commerce and foregrounds the functional and moral superiority of the bourgeois mentality.

This is why a democratic social order must prioritize the antimajoritarian notion that nobody should be judged for going against the mob.

Estas dos facetas aclaran de manera artificial temas que se consideraban inseparables en aquel entonces.

Foucault should not be dismissed as pointless epistemological speculation because, beyond his crestfallen presentation of the shift toward modernity, there lurks the essence of a sociopolitical dilemma. As the remnants of theological consistency recede, an ordered and emanating universe disintegrates into an overabundance of fields. These are like so many rabbit holes, each requiring specific standards, methods, and training. This then creates radically distinct fields of knowledge that were previously subsumed by more unified categories. STEM sprouts infinitely more stems. This is beautiful but disorienting. There is now such a forest of flying buttresses that we can no longer find the cathedral. Conservative critics of education confront this structure.

Hamilton’s hydras in The Federalist Papers remain metaphorical; his liberalism can still claim to prefer dialogue over conflict. But the shift in tone between his two essays with hydras has turned the coming political contest into more than a philosophical spat. The judicial nature of the hydra in the symbolic threat at the close of The Federalist Papers suggests Hamilton already has in mind the goal of abolishing slavery in a majority of the original thirteen states, and from there everywhere.

He wrote two definitive books on the principal literary movements of modern Spain and Latin America: The Generation of 1898 in Spain (1975) and Nueva narrativa Hispanoamericana (1981). He also wrote what remains the best book on the second greatest Hispanic author of all time: Borges' Narrative Strategy (1992).

What is a constitution? In the very broadest sense, whether we refer to Moses's ten commandments (1450 BC), the Magna Carta (1215), or the Articles of Confederation (1777-89), a constitution is a document that defines and reflects the existence of a people or a nation. A constitution doesn't have to be a specific written event, but like a religion it suggests a singularity of some sort. Like the people who embrace it, a constitution emerges from some previous social order. There's a before and after to most constitutions. Oftentimes, a great war, revolution, or migration calls a constitution into existence. Still, some constitutions have evolved gradually, building up over time as a set of rules and practices that a society lives by. Even a written constitution carries a plethora of epiphenomena (procedures, terms, writs) that are all constitutional in nature but not necessarily recorded anywhere in the ruling document.

America is litigious. Many will roll our eyes at the thought of the creatures that make it that way. Jokes learned in childhood deprecate them in titanic fashion: "What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?" Answer: "A good start." Alexis de Tocqueville claims that a free society emerges from its legal profession. A transduced aristocracy of lawyers assumes the role of opposing majority rule. Searching for civil society's new saviors, the French count and magistrate projects himself onto men like Jay, Hamilton, Madison, and Jefferson.

CRT has matured into one of the main costs of doing business in the U.S. It works because its fictitious demons—racist boogeymen—can never be exorcized. It’s hard to prove the total absence of what once existed somewhere, and just one unconscious racist now tars us all. An inability to disprove something, however, doesn’t mean it exists in excess, so CRT advocates also work to transduce old racism into a “structural” problem, making it hard to find but deeply rooted. They therefore need perpetual funds to address it.

During the twentieth century in the United States, as it had in nineteenth-century Europe (see Dostoevsky’s Devils, 1870–71), the left did what political movements always do: it found its way into those social spaces available to it, especially academia. At the same time, tarred by the Great Depression, the Civil Rights movement, and protests against the Vietnam War, and frustrated by being driven into the corners of a growing number of universities, the right withdrew.

Abstract: This essay surveys and assesses the roles of asses in _Don Quijote de la Mancha_. I argue that their ultimate significance derives from the picaresque tradition, specifically Apuleius’s _The Golden Ass_ and the anonymous _Lazarillo de Tormes_. Cervantes deploys picaresque asses as symbolic markers of: 1) his own aesthetic prowess, 2) his criticism of racial and ethnic intolerance, 3) his vision of compensated labor and economic exchange as the proper means of avoiding social conflict among Old Christians, conversos, and Moriscos. As opposed to the light and casual school of interpretation represented by critics like Auerbach, Spitzer, and Russell, I approach Cervantes’s great novel as a very serious satire against the ethnocentric, orthodox, and appropriative tendencies of early modern Spain.
Resumen: En este ensayo examino la función de los asnos en _Don Quijote de la Mancha_. Sostengo que su significado se deriva de la tradición de la novela picaresca, específicamente _El asno de oro_ de Apuleyo y _El Lazarillo de Tormes_ de autor anónimo. Cervantes despliega asnos picarescos como marcadores simbólicos de: 1) su propia destreza estética, 2) su crítica de la intolerancia étnica y racial, 3) su visión del trabajo compensado y el intercambio económico como los medios adecuados para evitar el conflicto social entre cristianos viejos, conversos y moriscos. A diferencia de la escuela de interpretación ligera representada por críticos como Auerbach, Spitzer y Russell, yo leo la gran novela de Cervantes como una grave sátira contra las tendencias racistas, ortodoxas y despojativas de la España de la temprana edad moderna.

_Anatomy of Liberty in Don Quijote de la Mancha_ presents five major facets of liberty as they appear in the first modern novel. Analyzing the novelist’s attitudes towards religion, feminism, slavery, politics, and economics, Graf argues that Cervantes should be considered a major precursor to great liberal thinkers like Locke, Smith, Mill, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Jefferson, Madison, and Twain. Graf indicates not only the medieval and early modern grounds for Cervantes’s ideas but also the ways in which he anticipated and influenced a wide range of modern articulations of personal freedom. Resistance to tyranny, freedom of conscience, the liberation of women, the abolition of slavery, and the principles of a free market economy are all still fundamental to Western Civilization, making _Don Quiijote de la Mancha_ extremely relevant to today’s world. _Anatomy of Liberty_ walks us through how Cervantes’s seminal work both foreshadowed and relates to contemporary society.

Spain and Guatemala lay claim to two of the world’s more remarkable epics. The _Poema de mio Cid_ (c.1200) and _Popol Vuh_ (c.1550) are intricate narrative poems that figuratively represent the origins of two nations: the Castilian people on the Meseta plateau of central Iberia and the Quiché-Maya people in the highlands above the Pacific coast south of Chiapas. In artistic, religious, geographic, ethnic, linguistic, military, and sociopolitical terms, these texts offer unique symbolic access to the emergence of collective consciousnesses that persist to this day. Further interest lies in the fact that versions of the groups on display in the PV and PMC collided with one another when Spanish conquistadors invaded Guatemala in the early sixteenth century.

_De reyes a lobos_ se centra en los tres textos de Miguel de Cervantes que resultan fundamentales para la comprensión de la evolución ideológica del autor de la primera novela moderna. A lo largo de seis ensayos separados, el profesor Graf presenta el arte de Cervantes como una serie de meditaciones disidentes sobre el poder y la gobernanza de los reyes Habsburgo. Comienza perfilando el humanismo erasmista del agresivo consejo principesco para Felipe II que se percibe en la temprana tragicomedia _La Numancia_ (c.1580); concluye desvelando el cinismo estoico y neoescolástico que sustenta lo que sigue siendo la narrativa más enigmática de Cervantes, _La novela y coloquio de los perros_ (c.1605). En el medio se encuentran cuatro análisis innovadores de su obra magna, _Don Quijote de la Mancha_ (primera parte, 1605; segunda parte, 1615), en los que Graf explica cómo fuentes clásicas como Apuleyo y Platón, junto con las ideas del filósofo jesuita Juan de Mariana, nos ayudan a comprender los significados generales del texto que inauguró la forma narrativa dominante de la civilización occidental.

In _Cervantes and Modernity_, Graf argues that the doubts expressed by both historicists and postmodernists regarding the progressive nature of _Don Quijote_ are exaggerated. He also argues that interpretations that abstain from this debate by emphasizing authorial ambivalence or positioning the novel at a crossroads do not seem as responsible as they once did. Beyond these skeptical and neutral alternatives, there are key steps forward in Cervantes's worldview. These four essays detail _Don Quijote_'s anticipations of many of the same ideas and values that drive today's multiculturalism, feminism, secularism, and materialism. An important thesis here is that the Enlightenment remains the best vantage point from which to appreciate the novel's relation to the discourses of such movements. Thus Voltaire's _Candide_ (1759), Feijoo's "Defensa de las mujeres" (1726), and Hobbes's _Leviathan_ (1651) are each shown to be logical extensions of some of Cervantes's most fundamental propositions. Finally, this book will still be of interest to specialists immune to the ideological anxieties arising from debates over notions of modernity. Graf also explores the interrelated meaning of a number of _Don Quijote_'s symbols, characters, and episodes, pinpoints several of the novel's most important classical and medieval sources, and unveils for us its first serious English reader.

Don Quijote not only identifies with the Cid, but with the Cid who was officially excommunicated by the Catholic Church. Is Cervantes mocking the Church or the epic hero of Spain? Perhaps both.

At this point, he gives us a burlesque version of the stories that we have been witnessing among the Sierra Morena lovers, the Captive and Zoraida, and now Doña Clara and the mule boy. Don Quijote is outside the inn keeping watch, and like the mule boy, he laments his fate as a “captive knight” of his beloved.

In these chapters Cervantes’s baroque style reaches a crescendo: the events at the inn unfold rapidly in a series of actions and reactions, and the case of the “bashelmet” results in the chaos of a general brawl that breaks out among the guests. To top this all off, after a lull in the action brings a moment of peace, an officer of the Holy Brotherhood attempts to arrest Don Quijote for having freed the galley slaves, giving rise to yet another pitched battle.

If part two of _Don Quijote_ is more political than part one, it is also more explicitly focused on economics. Sancho Panza tells the housekeeper that she is off by “half the just price,” which alludes to the era’s hotly debated issue of whether prices should be determined according to the free market or, rather, according to the calculations of appointed regulators.

Although not immediately apparent, chapters five and six contain much philosophical thinking about individual self-worth. At the same time, there are numerous hints that Cervantes thinks many of his readers have overlooked the complexity and seriousness of his art. For example, if, like the translator, we dismiss Sancho Panza’s speeches as implausible, we are unlikely to ponder their moral significance, their critique of hierarchical privilege.

The mysterious Cave of Montesinos offers contrasts between high chivalric rhetoric and lowly details. These also underwrite Cervantes’s ongoing contrast between the modern world of money and the outmoded world of chivalric fantasy, as well as that between our material world and metaphysical places like Purgatory and Heaven. Is the Cave of Montesinos Hell or just everyday life? And do enchanted people or spirits really need loans?

How is a “just war” defined? Don Quijote appeals to reason, saying that none of the five reasons for taking up arms apply in this case. He goes even further, appealing to Christian morality, in particular, Matthew 5.44, which Cervantes cited in Latin in the prologue to part one: “taking unjust revenge, for there’s no such thing as just revenge, goes directly against the holy law that we profess, according to which we are commanded to do good to our enemies and to love those who hate us.”

In chapter thirty our heroes meet the Duke and Duchess, two major characters who will remain unnamed throughout the remainder of part two. This brief but highly symbolic chapter has serious implications for feminist readings of _Don Quijote_. It also develops further the links between the text of 1605 and that of 1615. The Duke and Duchess state clearly that they have read the first part and the narrator informs us that they plan on having fun with knight and squire.

The Duke and Duchess offer our heroes hunting outfits. Don Quijote refuses, but Sancho Panza accepts a tunic made of fine green cloth for selfish reasons: “intending to sell it at the first opportunity he could.” Note how Sancho’s green outfit recalls that of the moderate hidalgo Diego de Miranda, although the squire’s greediness and cowardice are contrastive.

The Duchess’s final comment regarding Dulcinea's salvation sounds harmless, but it directly contradicts the Counter Reformation’s response to Luther’s doctrine of sola fide, which challenged the Catholic view that all acts of charity lead to grace: “be advised Sancho that works of charity which are performed weakly or with indifference have no merit and are worthless.” This is a big deal: the phrase was censored in the Valencia edition of 1616 and expurgated from all editions between 1632 and 1839.

Chapter forty-five of part two of _Don Quijote_ relates three legal cases that Governor Sancho Panza must decide upon assuming power on the Isle of Barataria. The symbolic continuity between these cases reveals Cervantes's concern for the Habsburg inflationary monetary policy that was diminishing the purchasing power of the common coin of Castile. This destructive power of inflation is also the essential meaning of the Adventure of the Cats in chapter forty-six.

Chapter forty-eight of part two of _Don Quijote_ relates an absurd, but intense, nocturnal encounter between two of the novel’s oldest characters: Don Quijote and Doña Rodríguez. As in the Sierra Morena of part one, women’s actions and desires predominate in Aragón, serving as preludes to the roles of Teresa, Altisidora, Ana Félix, and Claudia Jerónima. On another level, the chaos that ensues and hints of an ethnic clash between Christians and Moors recall Don Quijote’s violent encounter with Maritornes in part one.

Chapters fifty-one through fifty-three of part two of _Don Quijote_ conclude Sancho’s rule over Barataria, i.e., the climax of the novel’s political allegory. Note that the novel is decidedly epistolary here. Cervantes was clearly meditating on politics circa 1614, and this meant the Morisco Question.

Chapters fifty-four and fifty-five of part two of _Don Quijote_ are crucial to understanding Cervantes’s art of the novel. Here, more than anywhere else, our author combines two symbols: 1) the ass as the mistreated human beings of Apuleius’s anti-slavery picaresque _The Golden Ass_; and 2) the cave as the state of unenlightened philosophical ignorance in the political allegory of Plato’s _Republic_.

Casi podemos ver las ruedas dándose vueltas en la cabeza de Sancho Panza, cuya primera reacción a todo eso es concebir un plan para volverse rico: «yo renuncio desde aquí el gobierno de la prometida ínsula». Lo único que quiere ahora es que don Quijote le dé la receta del bálsamo y que le diga cuánto cuesta hacerlo. Sancho tiene espíritu de emprendedor.

Se trata de otro tópico literario, un “lugar ameno”, donde amo y mozo comen y descansan. Y, así, todavía dentro del ámbito del género pastoril, el narrador nos recuerda tanto la temática sexual como la trayectoria sureña de los capítulos anteriores: a Sancho Panza no se le ocurre atar a Rocinante porque «le conocía por tan manso y tan poco rijoso, que todas las yeguas de la dehesa de Córdoba no le hicieran tomar mal siniestro».

El capítulo veintidós de _Don Quijote_, el famoso episodio de los galeotes, es otro de los más reciamente debatidos por los críticos. Es sencillo ver por qué.

Para el lector moderno es difícil entender lo irreverente de este acto. Sabemos que este pasaje ofendió a las autoridades eclesiásticas ya que fue censurado en la segunda edición de 1605.

Don Quijote apela a la razón, diciendo que ninguna de las tres razones para tomar las armas puede aplicarse en este caso: «por niñerías y por cosas que antes son de risa y pasatiempo que de afrenta, parece que quien las toma carece de todo razonable discurso». Va incluso más allá, aludiendo a la moralidad cristiana, en particular Mateo 5.44, que Cervantes había citado en latín en el prólogo de la primera parte de _Don Quijote_: «el tomar venganza injusta, que justa no puede haber alguna que lo sea, va derechamente contra la santa ley que profesamos, en la cual se nos manda que hagamos bien a nuestros enemigos y que amemos a los que nos aborrecen».

En el capítulo treinta, nuestros héroes conocen al Duque y la Duquesa, dos personajes importantes que se mantendrán innombrados durante el resto de la segunda parte. Este breve pero altamente simbólico capítulo tiene ciertas implicaciones para las interpretaciones feministas de _Don Quijote_. También revela más a fondo las conexiones entre el texto de 1605 y el de 1615. El Duque y la Duquesa declaran claramente que han leído la primera parte de _Don Quijote_, y el narrador nos informa que tienen planeado divertirse con el caballero y su escudero.

El punto de mira en las barbas es un paralelo con el punto de mira en las tensiones sociales, porque agarrar de las barbas a un hombre era una seria ofensa en los periodos medieval y moderno temprano. Pero el hecho de enfocarse en Dulcinea sugiere que las barbas también son símbolos fálicos de la potencia masculina según Freud.

El Duque y la Duquesa ofrecen a nuestros héroes trajes de caza. Don Quijote rechaza el suyo, pero Sancho Panza acepta una túnica hecha de fina tela verde. El narrador nos cuenta que el escudero hace esto por motivos egoístas: «con intención de venderle en la primera ocasión que pudiese». Nótese cómo el traje verde de Sancho alude al del moderado hidalgo Diego de Miranda, a pesar de que la glotonería y cobardía del escudero contrastan notablemente con este otro personaje.

El comentario final de la Duquesa suena inofensivo, pero contradice directamente la respuesta de la Contrarreforma a la doctrina de Lutero de 'sola fide', que desafió la visión católica de que todos los actos de caridad llevan a la gracia: «advierta Sancho que las obras de caridad que se hacen tibia y flojamente no tienen mérito ni valen nada». Este es un gran problema: la frase fue censurada en la edición de Valencia de 1616 y se expurgó de todas las ediciones realizadas entre 1632 y 1839.

Existen numerosas fuentes para los consejos principescos que siguen, entre las cuales se encuentran Isócrates, Esopo y Erasmo. Sin embargo, el tema principal es que Sancho Panza debe permanecer humilde recordando su lugar de origen. El hidalgo quiere reprimir el orgullo étnico del escudero.

El capítulo cuarenta y cinco de la segunda parte de _Don Quijote_ se refiere a tres casos legales sobre los que Sancho Panza debe decidir para asumir su poder en la Isla Barataria. La continuidad simbólica entre estos tres casos revela la preocupación de Cervantes por la política monetaria inflacionaria que estaba disminuyendo el poder adquisitivo de las monedas más comunes de Castilla. Este destructivo poder de la inflación es también el significado esencial de la aventura de los gatos en el capítulo cuarenta y seis.

El capítulo cuarenta y ocho de la segunda parte de _Don Quijote_ cuenta el encuentro absurdo pero intenso entre dos de los personajes más viejos de la novela: Don Quijote y doña Rodríguez. Percibimos un aumento de la presencia femenina. Al igual que en Sierra Morena en la primera parte de _Don Quijote_, las acciones y deseos de las mujeres predominan en Aragón, lo que sirve de preludio a los papeles de Teresa, Altisidora, Ana Félix y Claudia Jerónima en la segunda mitad de la segunda parte.

Los capítulos cincuenta y cuatro y cincuenta y cinco de la segunda parte de _Don Quijote_ son cruciales para entender el arte de la novela de Cervantes. Aquí, más que en ningún otro lugar, nuestro autor combina dos símbolos: 1) el asno como los seres humanos maltratados en la novela picaresca y antiesclavista _El asno de oro_ de Apuleyo; y 2) la cueva como el estado de oscura ignorancia filosófica en la alegoría política de Platón en la _República_.

Was _Don Quixote_ a pioneer of religious freedom? Eric C. Graf, Professor of Literature at Universidad Francisco Marroquín, explains how Miguel de Cervantes used his novel _Don Quixote_ to illustrate the negative consequences of censoring speech and religion. Do you agree with Cervantes’s argument that individuals should be left alone to have freedom of conscience? Or are there some ideas that are too dangerous for individuals to access?

From a broad perspective, the new financial and commercial reality meant that business activity now attracted the attention of religious authorities worried about the souls of their congregants. Medieval trade in wool and wheat at seasonal fairs had become early modern trade in everything under the sun, involving complex international operations and calling for methodical moral evaluation.
