From Francisco de Miranda and other Brief Reflections on Culture

Abstract

Francisco de Miranda is one of the most brilliant minds in America, with knowledge of different areas from the military to the patrimonial, for this reason, delving into the figure of the Generalissimo, we find deep links with culture, which was a core part of his life and in general of any human life, because this culture is not understood or without the ability to make culture, so it is directly related to the human spirit in terms of transcendence. For this reason, in reviewing biographical aspects of the hero, certain aspects of cultural heritage are reviewed, where the different categories of tangible and intangible cultural heritage are found, where not only dances, music and buildings are included, but also the knowledge ancestors that for their goodness have persisted over time. Each one of these Mirandina reviews of culture highlights the intrinsic value of these manifestations of the human spirit, which allows drawing attention to their conservation. For these reasons, culture is a fundamental part of education and vice versa, because in this symbiotic relationship the transmission of fundamental values ??for the integral formation of the person is ensured, which Miranda understood very well.
