Abstract

Spanish abstract: Comentamos el texto de María Zambrano 'Hacia un saber sobre el alma' poniéndolo en el contexto de la hermenéutica de la retrospección y de la teoría desconstructivista de la comprensión. Una vez que definimos el alma de modo no transcendente sino semiótico, como sujeto de conocimiento que es objeto de conocimiento, el saber sobre el alma no puede desligarse del problema de la interpretación textual y de su desarrollo dialéctico.

English abstract: A commentary of María Zambrano's text "Towards a Knowledge of the Soul", situating it within the context of the hermeneutics of retrospection and the deconstructivist theory of understanding. Once the soul is given a non-transcendental but a semiotic definition, as a subject of understanding which is an object of understanding, knowledge of the soul cannot be disentangled from the problems of textual interpretation and its dialectical development.
