Unamuno about Human Being. Nature and Culture in Tragic Life

Luis Jimenez Moreno

Abstract

The article discusses some of M. de Unamuno (1864-1936) anthropological ideas constituting the center of his “tragic philosophy”. In these considerations the prominence has been given to the issue of a relationship between natural and cultural factors in human life. The relations have been expressed in a few aspects: as a relationship between individual ambitions of a man (“ambitions of a man, flesh and blood, who is born, suffers and dies – first of all dies”) and the truths of universal mind; between a man as a rational animal and a man as an emotional animal. As a worth considering literary expression of these issues, the author presents a novel – Love and Pedagogy by M. de Unamuno.
