Abstract

This work seeks to reconstruct the structure of constitutivism to facilitate its dissemination in the Spanish language. To achieve this, it starts from an analysis of the formulation of the general objective of the constitutivist strategy. Then, it traces its historical origins in the problems of the sources of normativity, constructivism, and the normativity of reasons. Later, there is an explanation about the simple constitutivist movement and, finally, the article closes by presenting the three main theses that support any constitutivist strategy.
