Abstract

From my position as Maria Zambrano’s documentalist in her last years of life in Madrid, I offer to the research on her thought, not only the knowledge of her writings, but also her alive words that arose in our conversations for years being employed day after day at her library. María Zambrano (1904- 1991) finds in art in general and in poetry especially («Any art is poetry or... it is not») the measure of a philosophy that, as any artistic creation, begins by demanding an implacable exercise. Zambrano’s philosophical offer arises from the classic European thought including also the oriental traditions that the Arabs and the Judes brought to the Iberian Peninsula. This legacy plus the cultures with which she had opportunity to enter contact with in America, form an original and integrative thought that still can give response to the crisis that we drag today.
