This note traces the origins of Andrés Bello's influential essay on the importance of publication of judicial decisions, which appeared in the Chilean periodical El Araucano in 1830. The current research note demonstrates that the essay was originally published in the London periodical El Censor Americano in 1820, although without identifying Bello as the author. Despite the differences between the two versions, due to the different historical moments (the restoration of the Constitution of 1812 after the revolution of 1820 in Spain, and the republican organization of Chile in 1830), this note argues that there is a fundamental thread uniting the two essays, namely, the central im- portance of publishing judicial decisions in any political system, be it a constitutional monarchy, or a republic. ; Esta nota de investigación identifica la cronología exacta de la publicación de uno de los ensayos más importantes de Andrés Bello, "Publicidad de los juicios", que apareció en el periódico chileno El Araucano en 1830, pero que se publicó originalmente sin atribución de autor en El Censor Americano en Londres en 1820. En esta nota se establece la autoría de Bello y se arguye que entre ambas publicaciones hay algunas diferencias importantes, que evidencian momentos históricos diferentes: la crítica, con mirada inglesa, a la revolución liberal en España en 1820, que restauró la Constitución de 1812 y la organización republicana de Chile en 1830. El elemento de continuidad es la transparencia de las decisiones judiciales, cualquiera sea el sistema político, monárquico constitucional, o constitucional-republicano.

During the 1960s, several academics from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chile became involved in a dispute concerning the aims of both the philosophical discipline and the university as a whole. Because this dispute turned into a conflict of national proportions and brought about the collapse of the administrative structure of the university in May of 1968, it raises a number of questions abut the motivations of these academics and the extent to which the philosophical discipline, as cultivated in Chile, inspired their words and deeds in relation to university affairs.
