Summary: This essay tries to express González Vicén’s concept of “revolution” through his work during the 1980s. To do this, I first introduce the ideas on this juridical-political concept the it already had in the 1930s and how it developed until arriving at his works on Marx, Stein, Bayle and Kant. The interest in the concept of “revolution”, already expressed in his first articles of the press, has absolute preeminence in his first investigations, namely his own doctoral thesis and his book of 1932, Theory of the Revolution. The fundamental idea at that time about this concept was that the legal order and the State must serve people and not the other way around. He will also be concerned about separating this juridical-political concept from other that are similar. In the 1960s, he emphasized that this concept of “revolution” is as such a historical concept, thus approaching a little to his studies on Marx. The predominant dimension or note of the concept of “revolution” is going to be the “transformation” of society. Our author thus reminds us of Marx’s belligerent statements and criticisms about Hegel, The German Historical School and even the Young Hegelians. On the other hand, González Vicén presents the negative of Marx, Stein, who will elaborate a theory of the revolution but with the firm intention of scamping its necessity in favor of a kinder capitalism. As for Bayle, our author refers primarily to his attitudes as a model, at a time even previous to the French Revolution. Finally, the voice of Kant, transversal to all of the work of González Vicén, also has this character in the present article; in spite of the vilified of Kant’s criticism to the ideal of “right of resistance” for formal reasons, there is in the work of the German thinker a continuous reference to the autonomy, freedom and emancipation that González Vicén also collects in his personal life and in his work.
