Abstract
The author dedicates his work to explain the reasons that gave frame to the Civil Code of Chile, which can be grouped in two: the essential contents of this text and its value as a symbol. On the first aspect, he emphasizes, that this code achieved an admirable transaction between tradition and innovation; therefore, though it conserves many aspect of the hispanic-indian law, it also receives influence of the French Revolution, such as the importance given to liberty, equiality and will. The Code , besides, tried to continue a rationalistic natural order generalizing rules oriented in the medieval Ius Commune . As for value of the Code as a symbol, the author attributes it to the personality of Andres Bello, to the longevity of the text and to the international diffusion that it achieved.
