Miguel de Unamuno (29 de septiembre de 1864 - 31 de diciembre de 1936). Escritor y filósofo español. Nace en Bilbao y muere en Salamanca M. de Unamuno, 1925 Citas[editar] "Acaso la enfermedad misma sea la condición esencial de lo que llamamos progreso, y el progreso mismo una enfermedad". Sobre el escritor[editar] "Don Miguel no era un existencialista: era la Niña de los Peines y Conchita Piquer en una sola pieza, un fenómeno marginal y aberrante. Don Miguel de Unamuno, fuerte vasco, lleva el arnés grotesco y el irrisorio casco del buen manchego. Jinete de quimérica montura, metiendo espuela de oro a su locura, sin miedo de la lengua que malsina. A un pueblo de arrieros, lechuzos y tahures y logreros dicta lecciones de Caballería. Y el alma desalmada de su raza, que bajo el golpe de su férrea maza aún duerme, puede que despierte un día.

Quiere enseñar el ceño de la duda, antes de que cabalgue, al caballero; cual nuevo Hamlet, a mirar desnuda. Miguel de Unamuno. Miguel de Unamuno (29 September 1864 – 31 December 1936) was a Spanish essayist, novelist, poet, playwright and philosopher. His major philosophical essay was The Tragic Sense of Life (1913), and his most famous novel was Abel Sánchez: The History of a Passion (1917), a modern exploration of the Cain and Abel story. Biography[edit] Miguel de Unamuno was born in Bilbao, a port city of Spain, the son of Félix de Unamuno and Salomé Jugo. As a young man, he was interested in the Basque language and competed for a teaching position in the Instituto de Bilbao against Sabino Arana.

The contest was finally won by the Basque scholar Resurrección María de Azkue. Unamuno worked in all major genres: the essay, the novel, poetry, and theater, and, as a modernist, contributed greatly to dissolving the boundaries between genres. In addition to his writing, Unamuno played an important role in the intellectual life of Spain. Fiction[edit] Philosophy[edit] Unamuno's 'pájaro sabio' (wise bird) Poetry[edit] Quotes.

I thank God that when I address how God has spoken to me I am not talking about something that happened just yesterday. In fact it is something that has followed me my entire life. There is not enough room in one article to cover it and even my book “An American Prophet and His Message’ could not cover it in its entirety. I still get questions and arguments from doubters among which are a good number of armchair theologians that have swallowed the teaching that says God has stopped speaking directly to men and women since the advent of the Bible.

Not even the Bible supports that worn out idea and has no realistically supportable proof texts to bolster such a view. It is obvious that anyone who believes the Bible cannot say God has spoken to them, if what he seems to be saying contradicts the prior revelation (the Bible) but if it does not then you had better take heed. God has never done two things which are in a nutshell, waste time and stop speaking. Hermeneutics is subject to rules. My Favorite Blogs.
