In order to be a good ruler, one had to attain three kinds of prudence: Self prudence, the control of body and soul; Domestic prudence, to rule the family; and Political prudence, to rule the republic or monarchy. The third kind of prudence that the children had to learn was political. In this article I will analyze the third prudence in direct relation to Las Meninas and, refer beyond it, to the training that royal children received.

Durante los siglos XVI y XVII, la corona española recayó siempre sobre un varón de la Casa de Habsburgo. A pesar del importante papel que jugaron varias mujeres de la familia real como regentes, gobernadoras o virreinas, éstas habían quedado siempre subordinadas a la figura masculina del rey. Tras la muerte de Felipe IV, la regencia de Mariana de Austria, madre de un rey-niño, abrió un período sin precedentes en este sentido en la historia de los Habsburgo españoles. No existiendo antecedentes recientes que poder emplear como referencia, Mariana tuvo que reinventar mucho de sus nuevas funciones y de su imagen y ambas cosas se reflejan en su representación pública, particularmente en sus retratos. Las tipologías del retrato que crean Juan Bautista del Mazo y Carreño Miranda son novedosas en sus soluciones, pero lo son aún más en el tema mismo de los retratos: una mujer, la reina Mariana, en el ejercicio del poder. ; In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Habsburg crown had always rested on a male head, and although various female members of the royal family had played such key political roles such as regents, governors or viceroys, they had always remained subordínate to a male king. After the death of Philip IV the regency of queen Mariana de Austria, mother of a child-king, opens a period in the history of the Spanish Habsburgs, which is unique in this sense. Having no recent model available to use as a reference, queen Mariana saw herself in the need for reinventing much of her new functions and image, which can be perceived in her public depictions and particularly in her portraits. The portrait typologies created by Juan Bautista del Mazo and Carreño de Miranda are new as to the visual formulae they introduce, but more radically so as to the protrait's theme: a woman, Mariana, who acts as a ruler.

The present study constitutes a critical examination of the possible aporias and theorical inconsistences in which Vattimo´s hermeneutical thought falls when it deduces the political and practical consequences implied by its ontological postulates. In particular, we will try to show in which measure the way itself in which hermeneutical ontology justifies its antirealist and antidescriptive positions, involves, in the public sphere, the taking of a hidden descriptive perspective that pursues, in the end, the legitimation of an objective practical-political option different from that supposedly derived from metaphysical realism. ; El presente estudio constituye un examen crítico de las posibles aporías e inconsistencias teóricas en las que incurre el pensamiento hermenéutico de Vattimo cuando extrae las consecuencias práctico-políticas implícitas en sus postulados de carácter ontológico. En particular, se trata de mostrar en qué medida el propio modo en el cual la ontología hermenéutica justifica sus posiciones antirrealistas y antidescriptivas implica, en la esfera de lo público, la adopción de una encubierta óptica descriptiva que busca en último término la legitimación de una opción práctico-política objetiva diferente a aquella que supuestamente derivaría del realismo metafísico.
