Abstract
Through a comparative analysis centered in certain sectors of the Peruvian, Ecuadorian and Colombian Andes, the author proposes that the modernity of these regions presents characteristics that makes it different and singular with respect to the model of modernity established in and from Western Europe.
Themes such as the pecularities of the secularization of the Andean zone, the support the Creole sector finds in morality as a mechanism of domination, penitence and contractualism, among the entities, allow the author to propose that modernity of the Andean region can not be read and interpreted from the classic cannons of the European Renaissance.
