| description | José Félix de Restrepo's career path was exceptional when compared with the rest of the enlightened figures. He was a pedagogue and a politician, the father of initiatives that lead to the enfranchisement of the slaves; he escaped the scaffold during the Spanish Reconquista. While the initiatives to introduce Enlightenment-based subject matters in the schools of Santafé were a failure, Restrepo expounded these subjects at the San Francisco de Asís Seminar College of Popoyán using a personal methodology. Later in his native Antioch he suggested initiatives in favour of the enfranchisement of the slaves. In the time of the Great Colombia he continued forwarding initiatives in favour of the slaves' enfranchisement and his participation in the construction of the Republic was decisive. This article aims at outlining Restrepo's influence as a pedagogue through his own methodology of the history of Education and ideas. The most important theoretical references are linked with the presence of the Enlightenment in New Granada, especially the catholic one, and the starting-off of a liberal discourse. We will emphasise Restrepo's participation in the task that consisted in introducing subjects influenced by the Enlightenment into schools as well as in his initiatives that attempted to give rise to the liberation of the slaves. |

La trayectoria de José Félix de Restrepo fue excepcional, si se la compara con el resto de los ilustrados. Pedagogo y político, autor de iniciativas para la liberación de los esclavos, se salvó del cadalso durante la Reconquista española. Mientras en Santafé fracasaban las iniciativas para llevar los contenidos ilustrados al interior de las aulas,Restrepo, en el Colegio Seminario de San Francisco de Asís de Popayán, exponía esoscontenidos a través de una metodología propia.Posteriormente, en su natal Antioquia, propuso iniciativas que dieron lugar a la liberación a la liberación de los esclavos. En tiempos de la Gran Colombia, continuó con sus iniciativas a favor de los esclavos y su participación en la conformación de la República fue determinante. El objetivo de este artículo es determinar la influencia que tuvo Restrepo como pedagogo y como políticoa través de la metodología propia de la historia de la educación y de las ideas. Las referencias teóricas más importantes se refieren a la presencia de la Ilustración en la Nueva Granada, especialmente la Ilustración Católica, y a la puesta en marcha del discurso liberal. Se trata de destacar la participación de Restrepo en la tarea de llevar los contenidos ilustrados al interior de las aulas y las iniciativas que buscaron la liberaciónde los esclavos en la República de Colombia.
