Abstract

In this article, we propose to examine the philosophy of history of the Uruguayan intellectual José Enrique Rodó from two constitutive identifying traces of his work, namely: a) the rodonians appropriations of the characters of W. Shakespeare’s The Tempest (1611-1613), especially in his most famous work Ariel, in order to build a sense, in his present – the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century – of the past and the future of America, specially of Latin America; b) the cultural models that shaped the rodonian narrative in what would be a philosophy of Latin American history and some historical subjects of that change.
