Abstract
Modernity is rooted in its own return to antiquity. However, this return was insufficient for the new man, contrary to the common predictions, as he was a man freed from class demands or ancestral bounds. The crisis generated by these two worlds is evident during the golden age of Spain when a distinctive character appears – Picaro – through whom emerges the need for a new man. The philosophical inquiry into this human typology demands the simultaneous investigation into the European Weltanschauung during its modernity.
