In the beginning was delirium... Reflections on the sacred and the divine in María Zambrano’s philosophy

Abstract

The idea of the sacred constitutes one of the fundamental questions in Marí­a Zambrano's philosophical project. For Zambrano religiousness is the dimension which was the source of the human, and from there one wonders about the possible conditions of existence and a reflection which includes history, religion, poetry etc. gains meaning. Thus, it is reasonable to assert that the question about the being in Zambrano's philosohpy implies, as in Heidegger, a questioning of the structure of the being of the entity that asks.
