description The public life of Eduardo Santos becomes a framework to study some of the dilemmas encountered by the Liberal Republic. Santos decisively acted upon the public scene to express a reformist liberalism which was, at the same time, cautious in its conception of the dynamics of transformations. He feared that an excessively voluntarist liberalism would carry out some necessary changes, at the expense of the stability of the republic and the return to violence, which had been kept under control during the conservative republic. His vital itinerary helps to understand this age of Colombian history, beyond the unavoidable responsibilities of some political actors.

La vida pública de Eduardo Santos sirve de marco al estudio de algunas disyuntivas que enfrentó la República Liberal. Santos intervino decisivamente en la escena pública para plasmar un tipo de liberalismo reformista pero cauto en su manera de concebir la dinámica de las transformaciones. Temía que un liberalismo demasiado voluntarista realizara los cambios necesarios pero a costa de la estabilidad de la república y del retorno de la violencia, que había podido ser mantenida bajo control durante la república conservadora. Su itinerario público ayuda a comprender esta etapa de la historia colombiana, más allá de las responsabilidades ineludibles de ciertos actores políticos. La vie publique d’Eduardo Santos encadre l’étude de quelques dilemmes auxquels a dû faire face la République Libérale colombienne. Santos est intervenu de manière décisive dans la scène publique pour concrétiser un type de libéralisme réformiste mais aussi prudent dans sa manière de concevoir la dynamique des transformations. Il craignait qu’un libéralisme trop volontariste effectuerai les changements nécessaires mais au prix de la instabilité de la république et du retour de la violence, qui avait pu être maintenue sous contrôle pendant la république conservatrice. Son itinéraire public peut nous aider à mieux comprendre cette étape de l’histoire colombienne, audelà des responsabilités de certains acteurs politiques.
