Análisis de los conceptos sobre la vida, la libertad y el amor en los escritos de biófilo panclasta

Abstract

The following article is part of the reflective need of interpreting the thinking of a child from Chinácota, who has been considered by many as the forefather of the Anarchist thinking in Colombia. Around the world, Biófilo is known as an activist who joined worker demonstrations in several countries, rising the anarchist idealism; likewise, he is associated with Kropotkin, Máximo Gorki and Lennin. Biófilo’s character was a different contribution to the reflective processes of the waking of the last century; his contributions are documented in a couple of books and a good number of epistolary texts. Even though he was undermined by the government and religious institutions of the time, over time he has gained some recognition, which has come from artistic and literary circles. In the field of education there are just a few reviews and little applicability, or a critique of his thinking, at least; despite this, when reading him, the struggle he had around three concepts can be seen: life, freedom, and love. Through documentary and research findings, the core elements of his thinking can be addressed. These findings can be considered discussion spaces, promoting an ongoing philosophical reflection around his contributed values, and a place where the importance of the recovery of his historical memory is estimated.
