Resumen
En La ceiba de la memoria, novela histórica del colombiano Roberto Burgos Cantor, los acontecimientos recreados así como las reflexiones explícitas en el discurso de los personajes, ofrecen un valioso escenario para el análisis del conflicto entre misticismo y razón. En especial, el conflicto entre el autosacrificio y el abandono de la razón, en el personaje Pedro Claver y la racionalidad de Alonso de Sandoval en su batalla por la libertad de los hombres. En este texto, los principios éticos objetivistas de la filósofa estadounidense Ayn Rand serán la guía para seguir las huellas de ese conflicto milenario.

On one hand, Pedro Claver‟s conflict between his self-sacrifice and his overlooking of reason, on the other, Alonso Sandoval‟s rationality in his struggle for men‟s freedom. This text will follow the traces of this millenary conflict based on the ethic-objective principles from the American Philosopher Ayn Rand without leaving aside some important concepts of the historical novel.
