        Assuming the predominance of French philosophical school of eclectic spiritualists, in Chile between 1845 and 1886, the main purpose will be to show the demolition by Valentín Letelier of what he calls ‘eclecticism’ (confusion of theology, metaphysics and science in the principles of teaching) in his influential Philosophy of Education (1892/1911). It rejects this line of thought because it inhibits the coherent development of the intellect and deteriorates civic virtue under the liberal policy of the tie between political forces. This critique compromises a transformation of the chair discourse of the teaching State at the level of its philosophical bases, coherent with a historical twisting of the republican political project in a direction that supposes at the same time democratization, expansion of the State on technocratic basis and the containment of the workers’ movements. Beyond this historical inscription, the paper proposes an insight on the philosophical sense of Letelier criticism as a rescue of the temporality and the gravity of thought.
        Suponiendo el predominio de la escuela francesa del eclecticismo espiritualista en Chile entre 1845 y 1886, el objetivo central de este artículo es mostrar la demolición hecha por Valentín Letelier de lo que llama eclecticismo (confusión de teología, metafísica y ciencia en los principios de la enseñanza) en su Filosofía de la educación (1892/1911/1927). Rechaza a esta corriente porque inhibe el desarrollo coherente del intelecto y deteriora la virtud cívica bajo la política liberal del empate entre fuerzas políticas. Esta crítica compromete una transformación del discurso rector del estado docente en sus bases filosóficas, coherente con una torsión histórica del proyecto político republicano en una dirección que supone a la vez democratización, expansión del Estado sobre bases tecnocráticas y contención de los movimientos obreros. Más allá de esta inscripción histórica, el texto propone una lectura sobre el sentido filosófico de la crítica de Letelier como rescate de la temporalidad y la gravedad del pensamiento.
