In this fragment of the text “De la desigualdad personal en la sociedad civil”, Ramón Campos criticises the very ancient character that noble lineages procure. This type of affirmation derives from the enlightened profile of the author in question, in addition to his partisanship for the bourgeois profile which is capable of generating wealth as opposed to the concept of rent. The figure of Ramón Campos as a Spanish ilustrado is still being discovered, and as Santiago Lorenzo García states, we still need a comprehensive work that deals with his work as a whole. It is one facet of many others of this Spanish Enlightenment thought, often categorised as “second-rate Enlightenment”, following the aforementioned author, a statement which is, however, imprecise and incomplete, given the complex profile of the Spanish Enlightenment figures and the difficulty of categorising them.
