BARATA CARDOSO, Bárbara  y  RODRIGUEZ MENDEZ, Vilda. Humanism and Beneficence in Félix Varela's "Letters to Elpidio". Rev Hum Med [online]. 2002, vol.2, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1727-8120.

The presence of Félix Varela's humanistic position in his work "Letters to Elpidio" is appraised in this work. Philosophical humanism in its Latin American variant is taken as a starting point, placing Varela in a position corresponding to the so-called "basic triangle" of Cuban philosophy in the XIX century. In particular, emphasis is made in his ideas about beneficence and the subordination of individual well-being to common well-being, issues that although they constitute a permanent thematic line in Varela's thought; receive a very mature treatment in this work, even more mature than that of precedent studies. Also they take into consideration the conditions and the historical context in which this work was written and the beneficent actions, of social assistance that are consequently generated

Palabras clave : HUMANISM; FÉLIX VARELA.
