Sumario:This essay aims to develop itself using a different methodology to the traditional academic format -may these be articles or manuals-, making use of a very valuable pedagogic resource which is not taken into account: Literature -as a transmission tool-, going further into new educational policies that handles, not only its contents, but the way in which knowledge is transmitted. As regard to the substantive issue, the purpose is to investigate one of the main philosophical current in terms of the theory of punishment: -German idealism philosophy-. Highlighting some interpretational variables that have been given about the Hegelian theory (which has always been pointed out as retributive/absolute by criminal law), the idea is to refute its so called absolute character and, simultaneously, show the symbolic-functional weight that Hegel prints on his theory, turning away from the Kantian retributive justice and approximating to a theory with a strong symbolic component as it is the positive general prevention.
