Razón poética, revelación y saber

It is intended to give an approach to the religious thought of María Zambrano. To achieve the objective, the methodology consisted of a bibliographic review of the works of the thinker and some of her main scholars. As a result, initially a general approach to the phenomenon of religious language is developed, to frame the way in which the author used said language. A biographical sketch of the thinker is also exposed to reveal his formative sources, his intellectual occupations and his linguistic options. It is proposed that both sections be conceived as meaningful contexts to address your thinking. In addition, in a transversal way, she realizes the criticism that Zambrano makes of the western philosophical tradition. Specifically, regarding her theological thinking, the concepts of poetry, philosophy and “poetic reason” are exposed in greater detail, the latter conceived as the notion with which the author proposes to synthesize poetry and reason, and to which she attributes - meanwhile Poetic Knowledge: the ability to reveal the true being of things and the genuine meaning of human existence

Amor y mística en la razón poética de María Zambrano

La idea de amor, central en el pensamiento de María Zambrano, evoca la unidad del ser humano con la naturaleza y también la inquietante búsqueda del amor perdido que se inicia con el nacimiento de la conciencia. Al principio se manifestó en las cosmogonías. Luego se escindió en dos géneros: la tragedia relata el amor pasión y la filosofía el amor al saber. La separación crece a lo largo de la historia occidental

마리아 삼브라노의 시적 이성(詩的 理性) 연구

본 논문의 목적은 20세기 초 스페인의 여성사상가 마리아 삼브라노의 사상을 특징짓는 ‘시적 이성’(poetic reason)의 개념을 살펴보고 그 의의를 성찰하는 데 있다. 시적 이성은, 이성주의의 토대 위에 견고하게 세워진 근대 서구 문명의 한계를 극복하기 위해 1939년 삼브라노에 의해 제시되었으며, 문학과 철학, 이성과 감성의 통합을 추구한다. 본고에서는 먼저 마리아 삼브라노의 사상의 형성과정을 살펴보고 그녀가 주장하는 이성주의의 문제점을 살펴본다. 그리고 시적 이성의 개념을 통해 근대사회의 문제를 극복의 방향에 대해 분석하고 최종적으로 시적 이성의 현대적 의의에 대해 고찰한다. 그녀의 시적 이성은, 1960-70년대 포스트모던 철학자에 의해 전개되어졌던 이성중심주의(logocentrism)를 극복하고, 문학과 철학의 경계를 통합하여 더 풍요롭고 자유롭게 사유하려는 탈근대 사상의 선구적인 모습을 지니고 있다. 그녀에게 진정한 사유의 사명은 자기시대에 지배적인 담론의 한계를 벗어나 탈(脫)시대적으로 사유하며 도래할 새로운 시대를 예견하는 것이다. 그런 의미에서 마리아 삼브라노는 자기 시대를 해체하고 새로운 길을 개척하려고 한 독창적 사상가이다.

When the Grass Sings: Poetic Reason and Animal Writing

In this article I shall propose María Zambrano's poetic reason as a suitable method for developing a knowledge of animal being. To do so, I will follow the analyses (Derrida, Coetzee) that place animal thinking in the poetic sphere, thus showing the need for a poetic/literary knowledge to make a philosophical knowledge of the animal possible. Animal writing expresses our nature in relation to animal nature; it discloses our animal interbeingness. Finally, I will point to some of the principles of ecofeminist/animal ethics, like care and empathy, which arise both in what I propose to call animal writing and in Zambranian poetic reason.

El trabajo de mesa en el audiovisual: la hermenéutica de la palabra/logos

The theme of this article is the table work. It describes, from an hermeneutical framework, the elements that make up this technique and how they affect the process of transduction from the written text to the audiovisual. The methodology is based on the qualitative technique of the in-depth interviews, both direct (interviews with Spanish professionals) and indirect (through interview books). The hypothesis is that table work is articulated on the concept of logos in its triple meaning: word, reason and thought. But the doubts shown about when to place the table work, how long it should last, what it should consist of or what happens with the special cases, draw the conclusion that there is a complicated interaction between logos and praxis, which is solved with poetic reason.

La razón poética y su función en la apertura del pensamiento

This paper reflects on the need for poetry and imagination in the formation of human thinking, and on how these need to be complemented with reason so that humans take a deep look on reality, knowing they are dual beings who need both elements to inhabit and transform the world. Some of the concepts used here about language are taken from Hans Georg Gadamer, while the notions of image, imagination and imaginary are based on Gaston Bachelard, finally, the concept of poetic reason is taken both from Friedrich Nietzsche and Maria Zambrano. These concepts are used to understand how poetic reason allows human beings to have an open thinking that allows them to explore their reality with a broader view.

Zambrano’s poetic reason in the light of Frankfurtian Critical Theory

ABSTRACTMaría Zambrano's biggest contribution to intellectual history is, without a doubt, her poetic reason; her unique attempt to overcome the limiting coordinates of the framework of rationality established by the Enlightenment. Having spent forty-five years in exile, the relevance of this Republican thinker has only been acknowledged in recent decades. Since then, the political content of her early work, as well as her engagement with the Republic's cause prior to and during the Spanish Civil War are well known. Nevertheless, although Zambrano still wrote some political books after the Civil War, most notably, Persona y democracia (1958), the political component of her thought after this period has passed largely unnoticed. This article intends to take a wider approach to Zambrano's political engagement by exploring the political significance of her poetic reason. Here I contend, first, that poetic reason, far from being an isolated attempt at developing an alternative rationality, is actually in line with the critique of instrumental reason proposed by the Frankfurt School and, second, that, in fact, there are meaningful parallels between poetic reason and Frankfurtian Critical Theory. Thus, the purpose of this article is to explore such parallels and their significance in revealing the political dimension of Zambrano's thought.

«La palabra naciente»: María Zambrano y la razón patriarcal

El propósito de este ensayo es confirmar y revalidar la vigencia de la obra literaria de María Zambrano. Al mismo tiempo, se analiza la influencia del punto de vista femenino de la autora en su creación, destacando como paradigma de esta el tratamiento que ha dado a la figura clásica de Antígona en su obra La tumba de Antígona. La «vida no vivida» representada por Antígona sirve a Zambrano para reabrir una puerta que había quedado sellada tras el cruel final de la tragedia de Sófocles. De este modo, la autora acertaría a reescribir el perfil de la heroína trágica, confiriéndole una dimensión subversiva en relación con la historia del pensamiento patriarcal. Por último, se estudia cómo María Zambrano en esta obra abandona el género del ensayo y se adentra en la ficción dramática, pues necesita el lenguaje literario («la razón poética») para expresar su pensamiento con más fuerza.

Rethinking the metaphor of light: María Zambrano in dialogue with Jacques Derrida and Hans Blumenberg

ABSTRACTThe notion of metaphor has been broadly discussed during the twentieth century as an essential and necessary part of language and history. This article examines the theoretical dialogue that links the centrality of the metaphor of light in the work of María Zambrano with reflections on this topic by Jacques Derrida and Hans Blumenberg. Through various formulations of this metaphor across different works, Zambrano presents the metaphor linked to poetic reason as not reducible to a mere rhetorical ornament or to a concept. By articulating alternative metaphors to the imperative of clarity as the blinding light of Occidental reason, Zambrano introduces a solid critique to rationalism and introduces the metaphor of the Dawn as a new form of knowledge. This new intonation of the metaphor of light opens up an unexplored direction in Spanish thought not only by thinking the metaphor of light through poetic reason and its critique to the philosophical tradition, but also by assuming the political implications of this metaphor and criticizing its heliopolitical configuration. Indeed, Zambrano states the significance of the metaphor of the sun linked to the sacrificial structure of history, particularly of Spain, and its necessary overcoming as the possibility of a radical democracy.

Hannah Arendt lectora de Franz Kafka: una mirada pedagógica a la razón poética

Abordar el tema de la razón poética en Hannah Arendt, a través de una intención pedagógica, ha abierto principalmente dos caminos de investigación. Las primeras consideraciones nos han guiado hasta el reconocimiento del pensamiento poético, con su proximidad con el lenguaje común, como la forma humana de comprender de una manera diferente y esencial, forma de reflexionar sobre lo que es imprevisible e indefinible. Un segundo camino consiste en mostrar cómo la razón poética se puede desarrollar, en educación, a partir de una revaluación de la tradición y del pasado. Casi que Hannah Arendt quiera indicar el patrimonio humanístico, a menudo desacreditado por las ciencias de la formación, como el lugar desde donde mirar el mundo como algo en común, un hogar compartido, desde el que puede empezar una forma auténtica de comunicación.

La razón poética de María Zambrano frente a las visiones del Humanismo Moderno

María Zambrano buscó incesantemente –a través de sus múltiples escritos–, demostrar que la razón no puede prescindir de la dimensión trascendental innata en el ser humano. El presente trabajo, con las disculpas respectivas hacia los eruditos en la filosofía y la historia de María Zambrano, presenta la razón poética como camino filosófico y pedagógico para alcanzar la trascendencia. Los más grandes estudiosos del mundo, se valieron de dichas categorías para buscar trascender. En nuestro caso y para no perdernos en las marismas de tantas geniales ideologías, analizamos el trabajo de María Zambrano y su razón poética proponiendo un cambio de paradigmas humanísticos, desde el mostrar filosofías pre y pos humanistas hasta entremezclar la filosofía vivencial de María Zambrano, para alcanzar una actitud filosófica donde prevalezca el pensar para ser, antes que el ser para tener.

Sinfonia e confessione. Forme letterarie e pitagorismo in José Vasconcelos e María Zambrano

The Vasconcelos and Zambrano attempt to reconcile life and reason, Wisdom and Philosophy, is particularly affected by the influence of the aesthetic and ‘musical’ component of Pythagoreanism. This, that would cross the history of philosophy as an heterodox current, intends to reassert itself, as much in Vasconcelos aesthetic thought as in Zambrano’s Poetic Reason, against the constraints of rationalism, its formal rigidity and its dogmatism. With this objective, their reflection about the complex articulation and declination of the history of philosophy in literary genres, as places of its intimate drama, flows in the analysis of two specific and, in some respects, similar forms of literature: the symphony (Vasconcelos) and the confession (Zambrano). The latter is nothing new in the literary scene but, recognized as true of Western thinking method, is proposed as a conditio sine qua non of its authentic rebirth. Symphony and confession, which in their analogical and musical process would realize the ancient Pythagorean inspiration, insist on the need to invalidate that world devoid of subject, to reveal the immobilism and the absolutism of the concept and to rethink the tragedy, as a genre and in its historical manifestations, to forestall its ending. They share, therefore, the same purpose: the fulfillment of an ‘ethical Hystory’.

Una educación poética del cuerpo o de lenguajes estético pedagógicos

Este artículo surge de la problematización del cuerpo en la educación y tiene como finalidad mostrar algunos lenguajes poéticos que resignifican la educación del cuerpo. Se hace un análisis deconstructivo de algunos conceptos de la poética y del cuerpo para ubicarlos en el plano de la educación. De la lectura deconstructiva surgen lenguajes estético pedagógicos que hacen pensar una educación poética del cuerpo como prácticas creadoras del “sí mismo” desde un saber de sí, un hacer poético, una experiencia de aprendizaje y una razón poética cuya necesidad es producir formas de pensamiento educativos propiamente estéticos y retornar al cuerpo sensible.
