Doctrinal aspects of mirandian thought: Continental Unity

Abstract

This article studies the doctrinal thought of Sebastián Francisco de Miranda, addressing his theoretical plans to achieve the independence of all the territories of Hispanic America, as a single confederal state. The Mirandino plan was intended to break ties with the Hispanic monarchy, and in turn raised the need to build a unitary state, or an American confederation. That is why Miranda is considered one of the most prominent ideologues of the political thought of the unity of Spanish America, a product of his contributions to the spiritual and material formation of the nation-states of South America. The approach to this work was through a descriptive-analytical methodology, concluding that their contributions were significant for the development of a philosophical conception that was followed by the main thinkers of the Region, from the 19th century, and the beginning of the 20th century.
