Abstract

This article introduces a new concept to be able to understand Don Quixote: the Christian Socratism, which is an element of asceticism that imbued the Baroque Spain of the Counter-Reformation, and which Cervantes agreed with. Don Quixote is a war between Cervantes and Don Quixote, or to put it another way, between the last chapter and the other ones, between Baroque and Renaissance -and its sequel, Modern Age- literary expression of the war between the Spanish Empire and Europe. Its dialectical character is even reflected in the confrontation between the two predominant interpretative currents.
