- Maria Zambrano went to high school in Segovia and then studied with and was influenced by Spanish liberal philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. During her university years, she participated in student protests and wrote for various newspapers. She went on to teach metaphysics at Madrid University from 1931 to 1936. In 1936, she married Alfonso Rodríguez Aldave, the secretary of the Spanish Embassy in Santiago, Chile. Her support for the Republican cause in the Spanish Civil War forced Zambrano into exile when Generalissimo Franco came to power. She lived in Chile, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Italy, France, Mexico, and Switzerland, keeping in communication with her intellectual circle, for about 45 years. In 1981, she was awarded the Prínce of Asturias Award, followed by the Cervantes literature prize. She finally returned to Spain in 1984. A film about her life entitled María querida ("Dearest Maria"), directed by José Luis García Sánchez, was released in 2004.

La tesi di fondo di questo saggio della Zambrano, che parte dalla netta divisione tra parola filosofica e parola poetica attuata da Platone, sostiene che mentre il filosofo - greco in particolare - cerca l'unità e spende tutto se stesso in questa indagine facendo violenza alla molteplicità del reale, il poeta vive nella frammentarietà del tutto e ad essa si dà gratuitamente poiché a lui si offrono come dono le apparenze, ovvero la realtà così come essa è.
In questa prospettiva la show more poesia è infatti incontro, dono, scoperta venuta dal cielo; la filosofia è ricerca, urgente domanda guidata da un metodo. show less

Es un libro difícil de leer no por el vocabulario, sino por como están formuladas las frases, aún así es muy enriquecedor.
Habla del amor en todo su esplendor y opciones.
Habla del amor en todo su esplendor y opciones.
María Zambrano publicó por primera vez su libro Persona y Democracia en 1958, en circunstancias -según ella misma confiesa en su prólogo de 1987- a las que vivimos hoy. Lo que las nuevas circunstancias revelan es la renuncia del hombre a ser persona, a vivir humanamente: habita un eterno presente donde la historia ya no se constituye como proyecto, donde no existe progreso ni democracia, sino el poder absoluto de dioses oscuros ávidos de sacrificios humanos: la democracia y la historia show more verdaderas -humanas y, por tanto, morales- parecen empresas condenadas a la destrucción. show less
