Maria Zambrano - A Life of Poetic Reason and Political Commitment

Klappentext Maria Zambrano (1904-91) was one of the most original Spanish thinkers of the twentieth century, known for her attempt to use poetic reason to overcome the limitations of Enlightenment-based rationality. This book offers a close look at her work, arguing that while the presence of a spiritual component is undeniable, at the same time her thought is far from mystical or unapproachable--rather, it offers an alternative form of rationality, one that links the personal to the political and makes the path to self-development also the path of civic and political engagement. Zusammenfassung This monograph reveals the political implications behind María Zambrano’s biggest contribution to intellectual history, her poetic reason.
