En el presente artículo, se traza la genealogía polémica del término y el concepto de “libertinismo”. Su sentido, tal como se forja en la primera Modernidad en la obra de Calvino, dentro del horizonte de la primera Reforma protestante, sería exclusivamente peyorativo y, sobre todo, obedecería a una estrategia eminentemente polémica: la de la construcción de una fantasmagoría frente a la cual dotar de solidez al cristianismo moderno.This article tries to draw the polemical genealogy of the term and concept of “libertinism”. Its sense, as it is forged in early Modernity, in the works of Calvin, and in the backgroud of the first Protestant Reformation, is merely contemptuous and, above all, it is due to a clearly critical strategy: the construction of a fictional enemy in confrontation with which it is possible to reinforce the basis of modern Christianism
