Este articulo analiza tres aspectos de la obra de Jose Cadalso: 1) sus manifestaciones sobre la conquista del Nuevo Mundo por parte de los espanoles, que no siempre se muestran ideologicamente coincidentes; 2) su estudio de las relaciones entre la Europa de la Ilustracion y America, que desvelan la cara oculta del colonialismo dieciochesco; 3) las intenciones objetivas y los motivos subjetivos que subyacen en sus textos a proposito de lo americano y que parecen mostrar un conflicto entre su patriotismo y los valores ilustrados con los que se identificaba. Al vincular entre si estos tres temas se revelan no solo la complejidad argumentativa y los intereses intelectuales del pensamiento de Cadalso sino tambien las ventajas expositivas de su 'metodo epistolar', que permite dar aire de novedad a la reflexion This article deals with three aspects of the work of Jose Cadalso: his statements on the conquest of the New World by the Spaniards, which do not always coincide ideologically; 2) the study of the relationship between the Europe of the Enlightenment and America, that reveal the hidden face of eighteenth-century colonialism; 3) the objective intentions and the subjective reasons that underlie his texts about the American and seem to show a conflict between his patriotism and the enlightened values with which he identified. By linking together these three themes not only the argumentative complexity and intellectual interests of Cadalso's thought are revealed but also the explanatory advantages of his 'epistolary method', which gives reflection the appearance of novelty.
