Abstract

A patriot of other times: Antoni de Capmany and rationalist historiography. The career of Antoni de Capmany (1742-1813) followed five different stages: up to 1770, the time he was learning; 1770-1783, when he chose the career of writer and his first great contributions to the fields of philology and particularly political essays and historiography; 1784-1792, maturity and development of these specialities; 1793-1808, a fall-off in production and slide towards political opposition; 1808-1813, immersion in the resistance against Napoleon and in the Cadiz Constitution. While Capmanys connection with the empirical rationalism of the Enlightenment and the inclusion of romanticism as a consequence of enlightened sensualism do not arouse controversy anymore, his sense of belonging via concentric circles Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, Europe is no longer easy to interpret from contemporary nationalist perspectives.
