In 1947, while commemorating Miguel de Cervantes' birth, the Costa-Rican Academy of Language, the Costa-Rican Academy of Geography and History, and the University of Costa Rica invited to pay homage to Miguel de Cervantes, and published, in 1948, the proceedings and transactions of the aforementioned commemoration. In this way, they participated in the Hispanic world celebration of Miguel de Cervantes' anniversary. According to my inquiry, previously there were not, in the Costa-Rican academic medium, learned publications concerning Miguel de Cervantes. This paper will analyze the philosophical features evinced by the 1948 transactions, and the critical variables to ponder under the influence of the Generation of 1898 interpretation of Don Quixote. This paper emphasizes the importance of inserting Don Quixote in the positivistic dynamic of "life and work". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
