Poesía e historia en Razón de ser de Juan Larrea

Abstract

In Juan Larrea’s earliest works, poetry is the main form of expression while later on it becomes a key concept of his philosophical project. Larrea’s aim was to reach beyond reality and to understand it in all its dimensions, including the spiritual and the metaphysical ones. This article argues that what makes Larrea’s project possible is the convergence of poetry and History; it also reflects on the author’s ideas in the light of traditional Western philosophy.
