Part 17

[3] It will be remembered that Don Quixote, otherwise known as Alonso Quixano, when he turned knight-errant, resolved that it was proper for him to have some lady to whom he might send the trophies of his valour. Accordingly he chose for his mistress one Aldonza Lorenzo, “a good, likely country lass,” for whom he had long cherished an unavowed passion. He bestowed upon her the name of Dulcinea, with the addition of Del Toboso from the place where she was born.

According to Unamuno’s exegesis, Dulcinea stands “for glory, for life, for survival.”

[4] The Basque race.

[5] This is the definition given by the _Real Academia de la Lengua_.

[7] The leap from the “Critique of Pure Reason,” in which he subjected the traditional proofs of the existence of God to a destructive analysis, to the “Critique of Practical Reason,” in which he reconstructed God, but the God of the conscience, the Author of the moral order.

[8] To think as you think, all that is necessary is to possess nothing more than intelligence.
