History, Capital, and the Baroque Ethos: an approach to the historical view of Bolívar Echeverría

Abstract

This work proposes to read the work of Bolivar Echeverria from the perspective of the historian. In
the first place, his work is analysed with the intention of finding in it elements that may be useful
for the production of a history in accordance with the demands of the civilizational crisis in which
we are immersed. Secondly, it offers some clues to, according to Bolivar Echeverria, read Marx’s
Capital as a book in which a certain writing of history is practiced and in which an unknown theory
of history is found, in the intelligence that both things inspire the proposal around the history
of Bolivar Echeverria’s work.
