“…In the end, the marrano's experience was one of distance between exterior and interior, between practice and belief. From this point of view, it has been possible to see marranismo as a radical experience of "unbelonging", exemplified in personalities like Spinoza, whose "marra-no subjectivity" and experience of not belonging either to the Jewish or the Christian world assumed, in its political expression, a democratic form (in contrast to Hobbes's Leviathan) that "destroyed the imperial foundations of Europe" (Villacañas, 2012). Nevertheless, it could be problematic to use the category of marrano in this sense, because it appears to create a link between political forms of not belonging and an ethnic identity.…”

ABSTRACT:The study of the process of construction of modern subjectivity offers an image of constant tensions between universality and particularity, which could be considered a manifestation of the conflictual nature of Modernity itself. As a way to solve the problems derived of the separation between universal and particular dimensions of this process -that has resulted in opposing interpretations regarding its confesional nature-a close study of the particular experience of the seventeenth-century thinker António Lopes da Veiga is presented here. This study is intended to provide some insight of the way in which similar intelectual concerns -of an international scale-over interiority and exteriority in epistemology, political thought, philology, theology and history, resulted in the constitution of a particular perspective regarding the individual.KEYWORDS: António Lopes de Veiga; Modernity; Subjectivity; Universality; Particularity; Interiority; Exteriority; Skepticism. RESUMEN: Cuando el infierno son los demás. Interioridad y escepticismo en António Lopes daVeiga.-Los estudios acerca del proceso de construcción de la subjetividad moderna ofrecen un panorama de tensión constante entre lo universal y lo particular que puede considerarse como un reflejo de la propia naturaleza contradictoria de la Modernidad. Con el fin de resolver los problemas derivados de una separación entre las dimensiones universales y particulares de dicho proceso -lo que ha resultado en interpretaciones opuestas acerca de su naturaleza confesional-se plantea aquí una aproximación a la experiencia particular del pensador del siglo XVII António Lopes da Veiga. Este estudio pretende profundizar en la forma en la que el conjunto de preocupaciones -de escala internacional-acerca de la interioridad y exterioridad en la epistemología, el pensamiento politico, la filología, la teología y la historia, desembocaron en la constitución de una perspectiva particular acerca del individuo.
