«Filosofía y poesía» is the essay by Spanish philosopher María Zambrano, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in hardback (123 pages, in Spanish).
The essay reflects on the relationship between poetry and thought, two apparently opposing needs that María Zambrano attempts to reconcile. Zambrano explores poetry's links with ethics, mysticism and metaphysics, and engages with Socrates, Plato and Kierkegaard to show that poetic intuition reaches where reason does not.
The work was conceived in 1939 during María Zambrano's Mexican exile. This 1993 edition belongs to the Biblioteca Premios Cervantes collection.
For readers of philosophy and poetry interested in twentieth-century Spanish thought.
María Zambrano Alarcón was a Spanish philosopher, intellectual, and essayist. Her extensive work between poetic reflection and civic engagement was not recognized in Spain until the last quarter of the 20th century, after a nearly 45-year-long exile. In 1988, Zambrano became the first woman to receive the Premio Cervantes, the highest literary honor in the Spanish-speaking world. She is increasingly regarded as one of the most important voices of the 20th century, and Spanish scholarship often places her alongside thinkers such as Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt, as well as her close friend and contemporary Rosa Chacel.
