            Abstract

            The author argues that the development of a high culture in Cuba has created a thinking civil society. The act of thinking implies a critical disposition, a capacity for spiritual and ideological creation of its own. These potentialities and the new contradictions that are being confronted are the vital mirror of a society and a culture that today sees itself capable of fully debating and deciding its present and its future.
