Abstract

It reflects on his ontology, the conception of the spirit and its manifestations: personal, objective and objectified. There will be a reflection on the role of freedom in the spirit realization. It explains the concept of new idea in relation to right and as a corollary the definition of progress. It indicate the three ways of realization of spirit in history, noting the position it is Latin America and the need to move towards a more complete spiritual realization, proposing as a solution the conquest of economic independence.
