Abstract

Besides proposing in outline form the disparities of the biographies of Cervantes,
Ortega y Gasset and Ridruejo, the article defends the condition of a specific requirement – the moral imagination – as an instrument to recreate the inner complexity of the subjects studied, beyond the empirical reliability of public and private documentation handled.
