Moral social : apreciación de Hostos

This volume offers a thoughtful appraisal of Eugenio María de Hostos’s vision of moral society, positioning his ideas amid the turbulent intellectual currents of nineteenth‑century Latin America. The editor guides the reader through Hostos’s dual roles as a sociologist and constitutional scholar, showing how his writings sought to forge a more equitable public life beyond the confines of colonial tradition.

The collection examines key themes such as the responsibility of education to nurture civic virtue, the pursuit of social justice, and the critique of political opportunism. Drawing on Hostos’s own essays and contemporary commentary, it presents his arguments in clear, accessible prose while situating them within the broader debates of his era. Listeners will come away with a deeper appreciation of how his moral framework aimed to shape a more humane and coherent society, offering insights that still resonate today.
