Unamuno, Descartes y la hipótesis del sueño

Abstract

In this article is analysed both the epistemological use that Descartes did of the so-call “the hypothesis of the dream” and the metaphysical and existential treatment that Unamuno gave to this problem. Both approaches are presented as variants of the metaphysical realism, being the conclusion that nothing in a philosophical sense can be said to prove its falshood, although yes a lot to advocate its abandonment.
