EL EROS MEDIADOR: MARÍA ZAMBRANO.

The paper refers to the relationship between the meaning of the figures of Diotima in the Platonic Banquet and Zambrano's essay "Diótima de Mantinea". Through the figure of the inspired woman who teaches the philosopher, emphasis is placed on the notion of Eros, dáimon of mediation between the human and the divine. The analysis seeks to connect what is properly rational in philosophical discourse with its pre-rational source; by Zambrano's position, about the classical and especially archaic sources of the Greek world, the axes of each text are described, highlighting Zambrano's interest in constituting the bases of his original method recognized as "poetic reason". In the process, it is intended to highlight the author's proposal to integrate and not the division of knowledge and her denunciation of scientific rationality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
